If you host a website on a server, it uses the server's shared IP address - a special number that is used to identify every device connected to the Internet. The website name that you use for the website is for easy access and convenience of the site visitors, but on a lower level, their browser connects to the IP address of the server. Due to the fact that there're a lot more websites than IPs, shared website hosting servers use the very same IP for a variety of websites even if they are owned by several users. While this doesn't affect your website performance directly, having a dedicated IP may slightly boost the loading speed of a website, granting it higher rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is essential for the installation of an SSL certificate too, so when you would like to protect the payment or login information that your website visitors type in, you should have an IP in addition to the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Website Hosting

In case you host your websites on our innovative cloud platform and you have a cloud website hosting plan, you'll be able to add a dedicated IP to your account at any time and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a couple of clicks. The aforementioned option is accessible in all the data centers where we supply services - Chicago (US), Coventry (UK) and Sydney (AU), so regardless of your choice during the registration process, you can get a dedicated IP address for your websites. You'll be able to add / remove an IPas well as to keep track of the free and used ones at any time. If any of the IPs that you buy will be used for an SSL certificate, you can enable the automatic configuration feature in our SSL order wizard and our system will request & assign the IP before it sets up the certificate automatically. Our versatile platform will enable you to use a dedicated IP for a variety of sites as well if it's 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 can add one or several dedicated IP addresses to your semi-dedicated server and assign them to your sites. The Hosted Domains section of Hepsia will allow you to view the available IP addresses and to keep track of the ones that are in use with ease. Provided you wish to acquire a new IP for an SSL certificate, you will be able to use the auto-configuration function, that's available in our SSL order wizard. If you enable this feature, you won't have to do anything after you send in your order since our system will request a dedicated IP, assign it to the domain or subdomain in question, and then install the SSL certificate - all of this automatically and without the need of any action on your end. This way, you are able to shield the information that visitors post on your site even when you don't have any previous experience with this type of matters.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers

If you obtain a VPS server from our company, you'll be given one dedicated IP address automatically and an additional one if you get a hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You are able to use the IP addresses for any purpose - a website, some web application such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you'll be able to use to point to your VPS any domain that you wish to host. Additionally, you can add extra dedicated IP addresses to your VPS account when you need them. This can be done via the billing Control Panel that you will acquire to take care of renewals, upgrades and domain name registrations and it will take just a couple of clicks. Shortly after you post your order, the extra IP addresses will be available, so you will be able to use them the way you like.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

All the dedicated servers that we provide feature 3 dedicated IP addresses by default and cost-free. You're able to use them for any purpose based on the content that you have on the server - an online game server or a Voice-Over-IP application, an SSL certificate for a site that you host, private name servers for a reseller domain which your clients can use to direct domain names to their website hosting accounts, and many more. In addition, you can order extra dedicated IPs from the Upgrades section of your billing Control Panel in case you need more than the ones which come with your server. You'll be able to obtain the IPs in sets of three and they will be added to your dedicated server shortly after you send your order, so that you can start using them with no delays.
