All devices on the Web are recognized by a specific number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. When you have a site, the domain name that you type in order to load it is for your convenience, however the server where the site files are still has an IP address. Due to the fact that there're a lot more websites and devices than there are IP addresses, all of the shared website hosting servers have a number of sites under the same IP, while when you use a dedicated server you'll get 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 advantage would be that you will enjoy superior search engine positions as a dedicated IP generally means a faster loading website. What's more, you need such an IP when you want to purchase an SSL certificate for your site and protect the data that visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Website Hosting
If you host your websites on our state-of-the-art cloud platform and you have a cloud website hosting package, you will be able to add a dedicated IP to your account at any time and assign it to any domain or subdomain with only a few clicks. This option is accessible in all of the data centers where we provide services - Chicago (US), Coventry (UK) and Sydney (AU), so irrespective of your choice throughout the registration process, you will be able to obtain a dedicated IP for your sites. You'll be able to add or remove an IPas well as to keep track of the free and used ones at any time. In case any of the IPs that you buy will be used for an SSL certificate, you can activate the automatic configuration attribute in our SSL order wizard and then our system will request & assign the IP before it sets up your certificate automatically. Our versatile platform will allow you to use a dedicated IP address for multiple sites as well if it is not in use by an SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
With just a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to add one or several dedicated IP addresses to your Linux semi-dedicated hosting plan and assign them to your websites. The Hosted Domains part of Hepsia will help you view the available IPs and to keep track of the ones that are in use in no time. Provided you want to get a new IP for an SSL certificate, you will be able to use the auto-configuration function, that is available in our SSL order wizard. When you activate this option, you won't have to do anything after you submit your order because our system will request a dedicated IP, assign it to the domain or subdomain involved, then install the SSL certificate - all this automatically and without any action on your end. In this way, you are able to shield the information that visitors submit on your site even when you do not have any previous experience with this kind of matters.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
All of our VPS servers feature one dedicated IP by default and in case you obtain a web hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel) during the signup process, you will acquire an additional one as well absolutely free. You will be able to employ them as you see fit - to access online content, to run a web application, to install an SSL certificate, or even to register private name servers for any domain name which you have and use the latter for any other domain that you intend to host on your server. The billing Control Panel where you'll be able to take care of all plan renewals, upgrades as well as domain name registrations will enable you to order more dedicated IPs if you need them for any purpose. Just a couple of minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you will be able to use them immediately.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
Because you'll be able to run more or less anything on a dedicated server, all our packages come with 3 dedicated IP addresses included as standard. In case you need to launch some server software or to activate an SSL certificate for a website that you host on the machine, you'll be able to use the IPs which we provide absolutely free. You may also register child name servers with one or two of the IP addresses for any domain name that you have registered through us or any place else and then employ them to point other domains to the dedicated server. If you run a website hosting company, for instance, this option will contribute to your credibility as an independent provider. When you need more IP addresses than the three our plans provide you with, you will be able to get extra ones in increments of 3 either throughout the signup process or from your billing Control Panel at any time.
