All devices on the Internet are recognized by a specific number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. When you have a website, the domain name that you type in order to access it is for your convenience, yet the server where the site files are still has an IP address. Since there are many more sites and devices than there are IP addresses, all shared hosting servers have a number of websites under an identical IP, whereas when you use a dedicated server you'll have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you can obtain a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One benefit would be that you'll enjoy improved search engine positions as a dedicated IP generally means a faster loading site. Also, you need such an IP when you plan to get an SSL certificate for your site and protect the data that visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Hosting

We provide dedicated IP addresses with all our hosting packages whatever the data center location and you will be able to buy one or several IPs through your Hepsia Control Panel. A new section will appear in your account and you will be able to request, view or delete your IPs with a few clicks. You are able to select how many domains or subdomains will use a given IP as you can assign one with a couple of clicks to every hostname. For example, www.domain.com can be the main site, that uses a server's shared IP, and shop.domain.com can be a subdomain where you offer goods or services on the web and it could have a dedicated IP address combined with an SSL certificate. You can change the IP that a website uses via 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 websites to use a single dedicated IP provided that there is no SSL set up for it.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you buy a semi-dedicated server account from us, you'll get the opportunity to get as many dedicated IP addresses as you like depending on your preferences. It will take a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel to acquire your new IP plus a few more so as to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The whole process is very simple and your site will start loading from your new IP address in no time. Hepsia will allow you to see all of the IP addresses which you are able to use, both shared & dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. If you want to use an SSL certificate on any of your sites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you can take advantage of our SSL order wizard, that can assign a new IP and set up the certificate the moment you upload your order, so you will not need to adjust anything in your semi-dedicated website hosting account by yourself.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Hosting

In case you purchase a virtual private server from our company, you will get a dedicated IP address automatically and a second one in case you get a web hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You will be able to use the IPs for any kind of purpose - a website, some web app such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you're able to use to point to your VPS any domain name which you wish to host. Also, you can add extra dedicated IPs to the VPS account any time you need them. You can do this via the billing Control Panel that you will receive in order to control renewals, upgrades and domain registrations and it takes no more than a couple of clicks. Soon after you upload your order, the additional IP addresses will be at your disposal, so you'll be able to use them the way you like.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Web Hosting

Since our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages offer three dedicated IP addresses provided in the plans by default, we shall give you a serious advantage if you wish to run any application which requires this type of an IP. We supply them free of cost and you will be able to use them for as long as you use the server for anything you'd like - child name servers for any domain name that you host, an SSL certificate for any website on the server, a software server (online games, VOIP), etcetera. Using the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you will receive to control renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you'll also be able to purchase more dedicated IP addresses in sets of three whenever you need. They will be assigned to your server in a few minutes, so you can start using them for your websites and web-based apps without delay.
