A dedicated IP address is a unique numeric identifier on the Internet which is given to a device or a website. Shared web hosting servers usually have plenty of websites under a single IP, while dedicated ones have their own IPs which are not shared with anyone else. Even when you use a typical shared account, however, it is possible to obtain a dedicated IP address that will be in use only by your sites - one or a few. Since this can contribute to the speed of yoursite, it's more likely that the site will get improved search engine result rankings. Certainly, that isn't the sole factor, but it is likely to help you get more site visitors and prospective clients. The dedicated IP is also needed when you want to encode the information exchanged between the website and its visitors using an SSL certificate.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting
When you use any of our shared hosting plans, you can add a dedicated IP to your account without difficulty and assign it to any domain or subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks. This is valid whichever data center you've selected for your account during the sign-up process, so you're able to take full advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. In this way, you can have a dedicated IP for an electronic commerce website, for instance, while a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP since you can modify each and every domain or subdomain separately through the Hosted Domains area of your Hepsia Control Panel. When you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you obtain the SSL through our company, you will be able to use our auto-configuration instrument, which will assign an IP and set up the SSL automatically for the website where you wish to use them.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you obtain a semi-dedicated server account from us, you will have the opportunity to acquire as many dedicated IP addresses as you'd like depending on your preferences. It takes just a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel to purchase a new IP and several more so as to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The entire process is really easy and your website will start loading from your new IP address very quickly. Hepsia will enable you to view all the IP addresses that you can use, both shared & dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. In case you'd like to use an SSL certificate on any of your sites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you can take advantage of our SSL order wizard, that will assign a new IP and install the certificate the moment you upload your order, so you will not need to customize anything in your semi-dedicated hosting account manually.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
We give a zero cost dedicated IP address with each and every VPS hosting plans that we provide and if you select a website hosting Control Panel on your VPS order page, you'll obtain a second dedicated IP for free. The addresses can be employed for any type of purpose - an Internet site provided you wish to install an SSL certificate or a server IP in case you wish to manage some app such as VOIP software, for example. You can also use the IPs to create child name servers for one or more websites that you have then you can set them as NS records for any other domain that you would like to direct to your Virtual Server. In case you need more dedicated IP addresses, it will take you just a couple of clicks in your billing Control Panel to get them and they will be allotted to your server in no time.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
Considering that you will be able to run almost anything on a dedicated server, all our packages feature 3 dedicated IP addresses included as standard. If you would like to launch some server software or to install an SSL certificate for a website that you host on the machine, you are able to use the IPs which we provide you with for free. You may also register child name servers with one or two of the IPs for any website name that you have registered through us or elsewhere and then employ them to direct other domains to the dedicated server. When you manage a web hosting company, for example, this option will contribute to your credibility as an independent provider. If you need more IP addresses than the three our plans include, you're able to buy extra ones in increments of 3 either during the registration process or from your billing Control Panel at any time.
