All devices on the World Wide Web are identified by a unique number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. In case you have a website, the domain name that you enter in order to access it is for your convenience, however the server where the website files are still has an IP address. As there are many more sites and devices than there are IP addresses, all shared hosting servers have a number of websites under an identical IP, while with a dedicated server you will have a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you'll be able to get a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you'll get far better search engine rankings since a dedicated IP often means a quicker loading site. What's more, you need such an IP when you would like to obtain an SSL certificate for your website and shield the data that visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Web Hosting

If you use any of our web hosting plans, you'll be able to add a dedicated IP address to your account without any difficulty and assign it to any domain or subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks. This is valid whichever data center you have chosen for the account throughout the registration process, therefore you will be able to use this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. In this way, you can have a dedicated IP for an e-commerce site, for example, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP since you can adjust each and every domain or subdomain separately from the Hosted Domains part of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you would like a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you acquire the SSL from us, you can use the auto-configuration instrument, that will assign an IP and set up the SSL automatically for the website where you would like to use them.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

All of the dedicated web hosting plans that we supply have 3 dedicated IP addresses by default and absolutely free. You can employ them for any kind of purpose based on the content that you've got on the server - a game server or a Voice-Over-IP application, an SSL certificate for a site that you host, private name servers for a reseller domain that your customers may use to point domains to their website hosting accounts, and much more. What's more, you can order additional dedicated IPs via the Upgrades section of your billing Control Panel if you need more than the ones that come with the server. You will be able to purchase the IPs in groups of three and they will be added to your dedicated server soon after you send your order, which means that you can start using them without any delays.
