When you host a website on a server, it uses the server's shared IP address - a unique number that's used to detect any kind of device connected to the Web. The website name that you use for the site is for easy access and convenience of the visitors, but on a more basic level, their web browser connects to the IP address of the server. Due to the fact that there are a lot more websites than IPs, shared web hosting servers use the same IP for several websites even if they are owned by several users. While this does not affect your site performance directly, having a dedicated IP may slightly enhance the loading speed of a particular website, granting it higher rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is needed for the installation of an SSL certificate as well, so when you would like to protect the payment or login information that your site visitors enter, you'll need an IP in addition to the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Web Hosting

We supply dedicated IP addresses with all of our Linux shared web hosting regardless of the data center location and you'll be able to acquire one or several IPs via your Hepsia Control Panel. A new section will show up inside your account and you are able to request, delete or view your IPs with a couple of clicks. You'll be able to choose what number of sites or subdomains will use a certain IP since you can assign one with a couple of clicks to any hostname. For example, www.domain.com can be the main site, that uses a server's shared IP, while shop.domain.com can be your subdomain where you offer goods or services on the net and it can have a dedicated IP along with an SSL certificate. You can switch 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 few of your websites to use one and the same dedicated IP provided that there's no SSL set up for it.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you acquire a semi-dedicated server account from us, you will get the option to obtain as many dedicated IPs as you need depending on your preferences. It takes a few clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel to order a new IP and a few more in order to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The whole process is really easy and your website will start loading from the new IP address within minutes. Hepsia will allow you to view all the IPs that you're able to use, both shared & dedicated, and which of the latter are free or taken. In case you would like to use an SSL certificate on any of your sites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you may take full advantage of our SSL order wizard, which can assign a new IP and install the certificate as soon as you send your order, so you won't have to adjust anything in your semi-dedicated website hosting account by yourself.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS

All the Linux VPS that we supply feature a dedicated IP, so you won't share the IP with some other customer with some other account on the same machine. In case you select a website hosting Control Panel for the server during the signup process, you'll get a second dedicated IP as well and you're able to use it for any content which you host on the VPS - an Internet site, an application, an SSL certificate, a VOIP server, etc. If you need more IPs, you will be able to order them as an additional upgrade from your billing Control Panel and they will be assigned to your server within a matter of minutes. You will be able to control your IPs with ease via your web hosting Control Panel and the virtualization admin panel that you will obtain to maintain the virtual machine.

Through the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you'll obtain to manage renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you can also buy more dedicated IPs in sets of three at any moment. They'll be assigned to your server in no time, so that you can start using them for your sites and web-based applications right away.
