All devices on the Internet are identified by a unique number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. If you have a site, the domain name that you enter in order to load it is to save you time, but the server where the site files are still has an IP. Considering that there are far more sites and devices than there're IP addresses, all of the shared hosting servers have a number of sites under the very same IP, while using a dedicated server you'll have a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you can get a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you may enjoy better search engine rankings since a dedicated IP usually means a quicker loading site. Last but not least, you need such an IP when you want to get an SSL certificate for your site and protect the info that visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Website Hosting
With a website hosting account on our cloud platform, you are able to purchase a dedicated IP address and assign it to any domain or subdomain with a few clicks regardless of where your account is - in the US, the United Kingdom or Australia. This can be done through the Hosted Domains part of the intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you can also keep track of what IPs are available, what are in use and what sites they're allotted to. In case you want to use an SSL certificate so as to protect the information of your site visitors and you obtain it from our company, our system can assign a dedicated IP and install the SSL for you, so you will not be required to anything manually on your end. Meanwhile, you may still have a site in a subdomain as an add-on to the main one under a shared IP address - a discussion forum where users can share their opinion about your services, for example.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, which is provided with all of our semi-dedicated server plans, will make it very simple to buy a dedicated IP address and use it for any site that you have in your account no matter if it is under a domain or a subdomain. With only a few clicks you are able to order the IP and as soon as our system assigns it, you will be able to set it for one or several sites via the Hosted Domains part of the Control Panel. In the same place you can also find what IP is used by each domain or subdomain, an index of the dedicated IPs as well as if and what website they are assigned to? If the IP you'll need is for an SSL certificate, you can take full advantage of our user-friendly SSL wizard which will make the overall process very simple because it will request and assign an IP to the preferred domain/subdomain and then set up the SSL without the need of any action on your side aside from placing your order.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Hosting
Because all of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages feature three dedicated IP addresses provided in the plans as standard, we'll give you a head start in case you wish to run any software which needs this kind of an IP. We provide them at zero cost and you can use them for as long as you use the server for anything you'd like - child name servers for any domain name that you host, an SSL certificate for any site on the server, a software server (online games, VOIP), etc. From the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you will obtain to manage renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you can also buy more dedicated IPs in groups of three whenever you want. They'll be assigned to your server within a few minutes, so that you can start using them for your sites and web-based applications without delay.
