When you host a website on a server, it uses the server's shared IP - an exclusive number that's used to distinguish a device connected to the Internet. The website name which you use for the website is for easy access and convenience of the visitors, but on a lower level, their Internet browser connects to the IP of the server. Because there're far more websites than IPs, shared web hosting servers use the very same IP for several sites even in case they are owned by several users. While this doesn't affect the site performance directly, using a dedicated IP may slightly increase the loading speed of a given website, giving it higher rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is needed for the setup of an SSL certificate too, so if you want to secure the payment or login information that your website visitors submit, you will need an IP together with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Web Hosting

We supply dedicated IP addresses with all of our web hosting whatever the data center location and you can acquire one or several IPs via your Hepsia Control Panel. An extra section will show up in your account and you'll be able to request, view or delete your IPs with a couple of clicks. You will be able to choose what number of sites or subdomains will use a given IP since you can assign one with a couple of clicks to every hostname. For example, www.domain.com can be your main website, that uses a server's shared IP, and shop.domain.com can be the subdomain where you offer goods or services on the internet and it could have a dedicated IP address in addition to an SSL certificate. You can change the IP that a domain uses through the Hosted Domains section where you can also keep track which IPs are in use and which ones are available. You can also set some of your sites to use a single dedicated IP given that there's no SSL installed for it.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

With only a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to add one or several dedicated IP addresses to your semi-dedicated server and assign them to your websites. The Hosted Domains part of Hepsia will allow you to find the available IP addresses and to monitor those which are in use in no time. In case you wish to get a new IP for an SSL certificate, you are able to use the auto-configuration function, that is available in our SSL order wizard. If you activate this option, you will not have to do anything after you send in your order as our system will request a dedicated IP, assign it to the domain or subdomain in question, and then install the SSL certificate - all of this automatically and without the need of any action on your end. This way, you are able to shield the info that visitors post on your site even when you do not have any previous experience with this type of matters.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

In case you acquire a dedicated server, you probably would like to run a web application or host a lot of websites, so we provide three dedicated IP addresses completely free with each and every package and you're able to use them the way you like - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain name that you have registered here or via another company. The last mentioned option is very useful in case you use your dedicated server to host users' websites since it'll give you credibility and anonymity as a website hosting company. The server billing Control Panel will make it easier to add more IP addresses as well - the upgrade is in increments of three and takes just a few clicks in the Upgrades section, so you will be able to go ahead and start using your new dedicated IP addresses just a couple of minutes after you send your order.
