All devices on the World Wide Web are identified by a specific number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. If you have a website, the domain that you type in order to access it is for your convenience, but the server where the website files are still has an IP. Since there are many more sites and devices than there're IP addresses, all shared website hosting servers have a number of websites under the very same IP, while with a dedicated server you'll get a dedicated IP too. 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 may get far better search engine rankings since a dedicated IP often means a quicker loading website. Last but not least, you need such an IP in case you want to get an SSL certificate for your website and protect the data that visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Web Hosting

We provide dedicated IP addresses with all of our shared web hosting whatever the data center location and you'll be able to purchase one or several IPs through your Hepsia Control Panel. An additional section will appear as part of your account and you will be able to request, delete or view your IPs with a couple of clicks. You will be able to choose how many domains or subdomains will use a certain IP as you can assign one with a few clicks to every hostname. For example, 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 services or goods on the internet and it might have a dedicated IP together with an SSL certificate. You can change the IP which a domain uses from the Hosted Domains section where you can also keep track which IPs are in use and which ones are available. You can also set a couple of of your websites to use the same dedicated IP provided that there's no SSL activated for it.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Hepsia Control Panel, that is provided with our semi-dedicated server plans, will make it really easy to buy a dedicated IP address and use it for any kind of website that you have in the account irrespective of whether it is under a domain or a subdomain. With just a couple of clicks you will be able to order the IP and as soon as our system assigns it, you'll be able to set it for one or several sites through the Hosted Domains section of the Control Panel. In the same location you will also be able to view what IP is used by each domain or subdomain, a long list of the dedicated IP addresses as well as if and what website they're assigned to? In case the IP you need is for an SSL certificate, you will be able to take advantage of our helpful SSL wizard which will make the whole process very easy since it'll request and assign an IP to the preferred domain/subdomain and after that install the SSL without the need of any action on your side aside from placing your order.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

As our dedicated servers feature three dedicated IP addresses as part of the plans by default, we will give you a serious advantage in case you want to run any software that needs this type of an IP. We provide them at zero cost and you can use them for as long as you use your server for anything you'd like - child name servers for any domain that you host, an SSL certificate for any site on the server, a software server (games, VOIP), etc. From the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you'll get to manage renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you will also be able to get more dedicated IPs in sets of three whenever you want. They will be assigned to your server within minutes, so that you can start using them for your sites and web-based apps right away.
