A dedicated IP address is an exclusive numeric identifier on the Internet that's assigned to a device or a site. Shared web hosting servers usually have a number of websites under the same IP, while dedicated ones use their own IPs that are not shared with others. Even if you use a standard shared account, however, you're able to obtain a dedicated IP address that will be used only by your sites - one or a few. As this can add up to the speed of yourwebsite, it is much more likely that the site will get better search engine result rankings. Certainly, this isn't the only factor, but it is likely to help you get more site visitors and potential customers. The dedicated IP is also necessary when you wish to secure the info exchanged between the website and its visitors by using an SSL certificate.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Website Hosting

If you use some of our shared website hosting plans, you will be able to add a dedicated IP to your account without difficulty and assign it to any domain or subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks. This is valid whichever data center you've picked for the account throughout the sign-up process, which means that it's possible to use this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. In this way, you can have a dedicated IP for an e-commerce website, for example, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP as you can modify each and every domain or subdomain independently from the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you would like a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you obtain the SSL from us, you'll be able to use the auto-configuration tool, which will assign an IP and set up the SSL automatically for the site where you wish to use them.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you obtain a semi-dedicated server account from us, you'll get the option to acquire as many dedicated IP addresses as you'd like depending on the needs you have. It will take just a couple of clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to buy a new IP and a few more so as to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The entire process is really easy and your website will start loading from the new IP address in no time. Hepsia will allow you to view all the IP addresses which you can use, both shared & dedicated, and which of the latter are free or taken. If you'd like to use an SSL certificate on any of your sites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you may take full advantage of our SSL order wizard, that can assign a new IP and install the certificate once you upload your order, so you will not have to change anything in your semi-dedicated hosting account manually.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers

We give a zero cost dedicated IP address with each and every VPS hosting plans that we supply and when you pick a website hosting Control Panel on your VPS order page, you will obtain a second dedicated IP 100 % free. The addresses can be employed for virtually any purpose - an Internet site if you want to set up an SSL certificate or a server IP if you would like to manage some app such as VOIP software, for instance. You can also use the IP addresses to create child name servers for one or more website names that you have and then you can set them as NS records for any other domain that you would like to redirect to your Virtual Server. Every time you need extra dedicated IP addresses, it will take you just a couple of clicks in your billing Control Panel to order them and they will be allocated to your server in no time.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

If you get a dedicated server, you probably want to run a web application or host a number of Internet sites, so we supply three dedicated IPs absolutely free with each and every package and you are able to use them as you see fit - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain name that you've registered here or via another company. The last mentioned option is very useful when you use the dedicated server to host customers' Internet sites as it will give you trustworthiness and anonymity as a hosting service provider. The server billing Control Panel will allow you to add more IP addresses as well - the upgrade is in increments of three and takes only a couple of clicks in the Upgrades section, which means that you will be able to go ahead and start using the brand new dedicated IP addresses just a couple of minutes after you submit your order.
