All devices on the Web are identified by a unique number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. If you have a website, the domain name that you enter in order to open it is for your convenience, but the server where the website files are still has an IP. As there are many more websites and devices than there're IPs, all of the shared website hosting servers have a number of websites under an identical IP, while using a dedicated server you'll have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you will be able to obtain a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. One benefit would be that you'll enjoy superior search engine positions because a dedicated IP often means a quicker loading site. What is more, you need such an IP in case you intend to acquire an SSL certificate for your site and protect the information that visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting

If you use some of our shared hosting packages, you will be able to add a dedicated IP address to your account without any difficulty and assign it to a domain or subdomain with just a few clicks. This is valid whichever data center you've picked for your account throughout the signup process, so you're able to take full advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. This way, you can have a dedicated IP for an e-commerce site, for example, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP as you can edit each and every domain or subdomain individually through the Hosted Domains area of your Hepsia Control Panel. When you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you get the SSL through us, you are able to use our auto-configuration tool, which 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 Hosting

If you buy a semi-dedicated server account through us, you'll have the opportunity to acquire as many dedicated IP addresses as you'd like depending on your needs. It will take a couple of clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to buy a new IP and a couple of more to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The entire process is really easy and your site will start loading from the new IP address in no time. Hepsia will allow you to see all IPs that you're able to use, both shared & dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. If you'd like to use an SSL certificate on some of your websites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you can take advantage of our SSL order wizard, that will assign a new IP and set up the certificate once you upload your order, so you don't need to adjust anything in your semi-dedicated hosting account by yourself.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS

We give an absolutely free dedicated IP address with each and every Linux VPS packages that we supply and when you choose a hosting Control Panel on your VPS order page, you will get an extra dedicated IP free of charge. The addresses can be used for any kind of objective - an Internet site if you wish to install an SSL certificate or a server IP in case you would like to manage some application such as VOIP software, for example. You can also use the IPs to register child name servers for one or multiple domain names that you have and after that you can set them as NS records for any other domain that you'd like to point to your Virtual Server. When you need extra dedicated IPs, it will take you just a couple of clicks in your billing Control Panel to acquire them and they'll be allocated to your server in a matter of minutes.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Hosting

In case you purchase a dedicated server, you probably plan to run some web app or host numerous websites, so we provide three dedicated IP addresses free of cost with each and every package and you'll be able to use them as you decide - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain name which you've registered here or via another company. The last mentioned option is very helpful if you use the dedicated server to host clients' Internet sites as it'll give you credibility and anonymity as a web hosting service provider. The server billing Control Panel will enable you to add additional IPs as well - the upgrade is in increments of three and takes just a couple of clicks in the Upgrades section, therefore you can go ahead and take advantage of the brand new dedicated IP addresses several minutes after you submit your order.
