All devices on the Internet are identified by a special number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. If you have a website, the domain that you enter to open it is to save you time, yet the server where your website files are still has an IP. Since there're many more websites and devices than there're IPs, all of the shared website hosting servers have a number of websites under an identical IP, whereas using a dedicated server you'll be given a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you're able to obtain a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One benefit would be that you may enjoy superior search engine positions since a dedicated IP generally means a faster loading site. In addition, you need such an IP when you intend to purchase an SSL certificate for your site and protect the information that visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Website Hosting
In case you host your websites on our innovative cloud platform and you have a website hosting package, you're able to add a dedicated IP to your account at any moment and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a few clicks. This option is accessible in all the data centers where we supply services - Chicago (US), Coventry (UK) and Sydney (AU), so whatever your choice throughout the registration process, you will be able to get a dedicated IP address for your websites. You will 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 may enable the automatic configuration attribute in our SSL order wizard and then our system will request & assign the IP before it sets up the certificate automatically. Our versatile platform will allow you to use a dedicated IP for various sites as well if it is not in use by an SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you get a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you will have the opportunity to obtain as many dedicated IP addresses as you need depending on the needs you have. It will take a couple of clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel to acquire your new IP plus a couple of more so as to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The process is really easy and your website will start loading from the new IP address very quickly. Hepsia will enable you to see all IP addresses that you can 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 some of your sites and you want a dedicated IP for it, you may take full advantage of our SSL order wizard, that can assign a new IP and set up the certificate the moment you send your order, so you won't need to modify anything in your semi-dedicated hosting account by yourself.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
In case you purchase a VPS server from us, you'll get a dedicated IP address automatically and another one in case you acquire a hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You are able to use the IPs for any purpose - a site, some web app 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 want to host. Also, you can add more dedicated IP addresses to the VPS account when you need them. This can be done via the billing Control Panel that you will receive to manage renewals, upgrades and domain name registrations and it will take no more than a few clicks. After you post your order, the extra IP addresses will be available, so you'll be able to use them as you see fit.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
If you buy a dedicated server, you probably want to run a web application or host a lot of sites, so we supply three dedicated IPs free of cost with each and every package and you can use them the way you like - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain which you have registered here or through another company. The last option is very useful in case you use your dedicated server to host users' websites as it'll give you authority and anonymity as a hosting company. 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, so you will be able to go ahead and use your new dedicated IPs just a couple of minutes after you submit your order.
