All devices on the World Wide Web are identified by a specific number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. When you have a site, the domain name that you enter in order to open it is to save you time, however the server where your website files are still has an IP address. Since there are many more sites and devices than there're IPs, all of the shared web hosting servers have a number of sites under an identical IP, while with a dedicated server you'll get a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you can acquire a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you may have superior search engine rankings as a dedicated IP often means a quicker loading site. What's more, you need such an IP in case you intend to obtain an SSL certificate for your website and protect the information that your visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting
We supply dedicated IP addresses with all of our Linux shared packages whatever the data center location and you will be able to get one or several IPs through your Hepsia Control Panel. A new section will appear inside your account and you will be able to request, delete or view your IPs with several clicks. You will be able to select how many domains or subdomains will use a particular IP as you can assign one with a few clicks to any hostname. For instance, www.domain.com can be your main site, that uses a server's shared IP, and shop.domain.com can be a subdomain where you offer goods or services on the internet and it could have a dedicated IP combined with an SSL certificate. You can change the IP that a domain uses through the Hosted Domains section where you can also keep track which IPs are in use and which ones are available. You can also set some of your sites to use one and the same dedicated IP as long as there's no SSL activated for it.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding a new dedicated IP address takes no more than a few clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very easy and intuitive to use, so even when you haven't had a website hosting account before, you will not have any kind of difficulties to get 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 are able to make this change inside the Hosted Domains section, where you'll also view all IPs that your sites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is available or you're already using it. If you wish to have an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order tool through which you will be able to select everything to be installed automatically. When you use this particular feature, our system will change the IP address of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it will install the certificate within a matter of minutes, so you won't need to do anything on your end apart from approving the SSL order via electronic mail.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS
All of our Linux VPS packages feature one dedicated IP address as standard and if you get a web hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin) during the registration process, you'll obtain an extra one too at no extra cost. You're able to use them the way you like - to access online content, to manage a web application, to install an SSL certificate, or even to register private name servers for any website that you have and use the latter for any other domain that you'd like to host on your server. The billing Control Panel where you'll be able to manage all of the plan renewals, upgrades as well as domain registrations will enable you to order additional dedicated IPs in case you need them for any purpose. Just a few minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you'll be able to use them straight away.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Hosting
Due to the fact that you'll be able to run more or less anything on a dedicated server, all our plans feature three dedicated IP addresses included as standard. If you want to launch some server software or to set up an SSL certificate for a website that you host on the machine, you'll be able to use the IPs which we provide free of charge. You may also register child name servers with one or two of the IPs for any website name that you've registered through our company or somewhere else and then employ them to point other domains to the dedicated server. If you have a web hosting company, for example, the aforementioned option will contribute to your credibility as a standalone service provider. If you need more IP addresses than the three the packages feature, you are able to get additional ones in increments of three either during the signup process or through your billing Control Panel at any time.
