Dedicated IP Address
Learn what a dedicated IP address is really and exactly why your website will need one at some point.
If you host a site on a server, it uses the server's shared IP address - a unique number that's used to identify any kind of device connected to the World Wide Web. The domain name that you use for the website is for easy accessibility and convenience of the visitors, but on a more basic level, their Internet browser connects to the IP of the server. Due to the fact that there're many more websites than IPs, shared website hosting servers use the same IP for multiple websites even if they belong to separate users. Even though this does not affect the site performance directly, having a dedicated IP may slightly increase the loading speed of a certain site, giving it better positions in search engine results. Such an IP is essential for the installation of an SSL certificate too, so if you wish to secure the payment or login data that your site visitors type in, you need an IP alongside the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting
We provide dedicated IPs with all of our
Linux shared packages irrespective of the data center location and you will be able to purchase one or several IPs using your Hepsia Control Panel. An extra section will show up as part of your account and you are able to request, view or delete your IPs with a few clicks. You will be able to choose how many sites or subdomains will use a given IP since you can assign one with a couple of clicks to every hostname. For instance, www.domain.com can be your main website, which uses a server's shared IP, whereas shop.domain.com can be a subdomain where you offer goods or services on the net and it might have a dedicated IP address along with an SSL certificate. You can switch the IP which a site uses from the Hosted Domains section where you can also keep track which IPs are in use and which ones are available. You may also set some of your sites to use one and the same dedicated IP as long as there's no SSL installed for it.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you purchase a
semi-dedicated server account from us, you will have the option to acquire as many dedicated IPs as you need depending on your preferences. It takes just a few clicks in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel to buy a new IP plus several more in order to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The whole process is very simple and your site will start opening from the new IP address in minutes. Hepsia will enable you to view all IP addresses which you'll be 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 sites and you want a dedicated IP for it, you can take advantage of our SSL order wizard, that will assign a new IP and install the certificate the moment you submit your order, so you will not need to modify anything in your semi-dedicated website hosting account manually.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Web Hosting
We give a free dedicated IP address with each and every
Linux VPS web hosting packages that we provide and when you select a web hosting Control Panel on the VPS order page, you will acquire another dedicated IP absolutely free. The addresses can be employed for any type of purpose - an Internet site if you wish to install an SSL certificate or a server IP if you want to run some app like VOIP software, for instance. You can also use the IPs to register child name servers for one or more domains that you have and after that you can set them as NS records for any other domain that you would like to point to your Virtual Server. When you need extra dedicated IP addresses, it will take you only a few clicks from your billing Control Panel to order them and they will be allocated to your server in a matter of minutes.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Since you can run pretty much anything on a
dedicated server, all of our plans come with three dedicated IP addresses included as standard. If you need to launch some server software or to install an SSL certificate for a site that you host on the machine, you'll be able to use the IPs that we provide absolutely free. You can also register child name servers with one or two of the IP addresses for any domain name that you have registered with our company or any place else and then use them to direct other domains to the dedicated server. If you have a hosting company, for instance, this option will contribute to your credibility as a standalone supplier. If you need more IP addresses than the three our packages provide you with, you're able to buy extra ones in increments of three either during the signup process or through your billing Control Panel at any time.
