If you host a site on a server, it uses the server's shared IP - a unique number that's used to identify any device connected to the World Wide Web. The website name which you use for the website is for easy accessibility and convenience of the visitors, but on a lower level, their browser connects to the IP of the server. Due to the fact that there're far more websites than IPs, shared hosting servers use a single IP for several sites even in case they belong to separate users. Even though this doesn't affect the website performance directly, using a dedicated IP can slightly increase the loading speed of a particular site, providing it better positions in search engine results. Such an IP is required for the installation of an SSL certificate too, so if you wish to protect the payment or login information that your website visitors submit, you'll need an IP in addition to the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting

We supply dedicated IPs with all of our shared hosting whatever the data center location and you'll be able to get one or several IPs through your Hepsia Control Panel. An additional section will appear inside your account and you can request, delete or view your IPs with just a few clicks. You'll be able to select what number of domains or subdomains will use a certain IP as you can assign one with a few clicks to any hostname. For example, www.domain.com can be your main website, which uses a server's shared IP, while shop.domain.com can be the subdomain where you offer goods or services online and it might have a dedicated IP address together with an SSL certificate. You can switch the IP which a site uses via 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 few of your websites to use the same dedicated IP provided that there is no SSL installed for it.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you get a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you'll have the option to obtain as many dedicated IPs as you'd like depending on the needs you have. It will take a few clicks inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel to order a new IP and a few more to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The process is very simple and your website will start loading from your new IP address in minutes. Hepsia will enable you to view all of the IP addresses that you're able to use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are free or taken. In case you'd like to use an SSL certificate on any of your websites and you want a dedicated IP for it, you can take advantage of our SSL order wizard, which will assign a new IP and install the certificate as soon as you upload your order, so you do not need to modify anything in your semi-dedicated web hosting account by yourself.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Hosting

All of the Linux VPS hosting packages that we provide come with a dedicated IP, so you will not share your IP with another customer with another account on the same machine. In case you choose a hosting Control Panel for the server throughout the signup process, you'll get one more dedicated IP too and you are able to use it for any content that you host on the VPS - a website, an app, an SSL certificate, a VOIP server, and so on. If you require more IPs, you'll be able to order them as an extra upgrade through your billing Control Panel and they'll be assigned to your server very quickly. You can manage the IPs with ease from your web hosting Control Panel and the virtualization admin panel that you'll get to manage the virtual machine.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Web Hosting

All Linux dedicated web hosting that we offer include three dedicated IP addresses as standard and free of charge. You will be able to use them for any purpose according to the content that you have on the server - a 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 redirect domains to their hosting accounts, etc. You can also acquire additional dedicated IP addresses from the Upgrades part of your billing Control Panel if you need more than the ones which come with the plan. You'll be able to buy the IPs in sets of three and they'll be added to your dedicated server shortly after you send your order, so that you can start using them with no delays.
