When you host a website on a server, it uses the server's shared IP - a unique number which is used to identify every device connected to the Net. The domain name which you use for the website is for quick access and convenience of the site visitors, but on a more basic level, their Internet browser connects to the IP address of the server. Since there're far more sites than IPs, shared website hosting servers use a single IP for several websites even in case they belong to separate users. Even though this doesn't affect the website performance directly, having a dedicated IP can slightly improve the loading speed of a given website, providing it superior positions in search engine results. Such an IP is essential for the setup of an SSL certificate as well, so when you plan to secure the payment or login info that your website visitors enter, you'll need an IP along with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Hosting

When you use any of our hosting packages, you'll be able to add a dedicated IP to your account without any difficulty and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a few clicks. This is valid no matter which data center you've picked for the account during the sign-up process, therefore it is possible to take advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. In this way, you can have a dedicated IP for an electronic commerce website, for instance, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP as you can adjust each and every domain or subdomain individually from the Hosted Domains area of your Hepsia Control Panel. When you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you obtain the SSL from our company, you are able to use our auto-configuration tool, that will assign an IP and set up the SSL automatically for the site where you would like to use them.

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 multiple dedicated IP addresses to your semi-dedicated server and assign them to your sites. The Hosted Domains section of Hepsia will help you see the available IPs and to keep track of those which are in use with ease. Provided you wish to get a new IP for an SSL certificate, you're able to use the auto-configuration function, that's available in our SSL order wizard. When you enable this option, you will not have to do anything after you submit your order because our system will request a dedicated IP, assign it to the domain or subdomain in question, then add the SSL certificate - all of this automatically and without any action on your end. In this way, you will be able to secure the data that visitors upload on your site even if you don't have any previous experience with such matters.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

In case you acquire a dedicated server, you probably plan to run some web application or host a lot of websites, so we supply three dedicated IPs free of cost with each and every plan and you will be able to use them as you decide - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain name that you have registered here or through another company. The last option is really useful when you use your dedicated server to host users' websites because it will give you credibility and anonymity as a website hosting service provider. The server billing Control Panel will make it easier to add additional IPs as well - the upgrade comes in increments of three and takes only a few clicks in the Upgrades section, so you'll be able to go ahead and start using your brand new dedicated IP addresses several minutes after you send your order.
