If you host a website on a server, it uses the server's shared IP - a special number that is used to distinguish a device connected to the Web. The domain name that you use for the website is for quick access and convenience of the website visitors, but on a lower level, their Internet browser connects to the IP address of the server. As there are many more websites than IP addresses, shared website hosting servers use a single IP for a variety of sites even in case they are owned by separate users. Even though this does not affect the site performance directly, having a dedicated IP can slightly boost the loading speed of a given website, providing it better rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is necessary for the installation of an SSL certificate too, so when you would like to secure the payment or login info that your website visitors type in, you'll need an IP alongside the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Website Hosting

With a website hosting account on our cloud platform, you can purchase a dedicated IP address and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a few clicks wherever your account is - in the United States, the UK or Australia. This is done through the Hosted Domains area of the intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you may also monitor what IPs are available, what are in use and what sites they're assigned to. In case you wish to use an SSL certificate so as to protect the info of your site visitors and you get it from us, our system can assign a dedicated IP and install the SSL for you, so you won't be required to anything manually on your end. Meanwhile, you can still have a site in a subdomain as an addition to the main one under a shared IP - a community forum where users can share opinions about your services, for instance.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding a new dedicated IP address takes just a couple of clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very simple and intuitive to use, so even if you haven't had a hosting account previously, you will not have any kind of difficulties to order and assign a dedicated IP. Each domain or subdomain within the account can use its own IP as an alternative to the server's shared one and you'll be able to make this change inside the Hosted Domains section, where you'll also view all IPs that your websites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is free or you're already using it. If you need an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order tool through which you can select everything to be set up automatically. Using this feature, our system will modify the IP address of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it will install the certificate in a matter of minutes, so you won't need to do anything on your end apart from authorizing your SSL order through electronic mail.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

Because you're able to run almost anything on a dedicated server, all our plans feature three dedicated IP addresses included as standard. In case you wish to launch some server software or to install an SSL certificate for a site that you host on the machine, you are able to use the IPs that we supply for free. You may also register child name servers with one or two of the IP addresses for any domain name that you've registered through us or elsewhere then employ them to direct other domains to the dedicated server. If you run a website hosting company, for example, the aforementioned option will contribute to your credibility as a standalone service provider. When you need more IP addresses than the three the plans feature, you can get extra ones in increments of three either throughout the signup process or through your billing Control Panel at any time.
