A dedicated IP address is a unique numeric identifier on the net that is assigned to a device or a website. Shared hosting servers usually have a large number of sites under the very same IP, while dedicated ones feature their own IPs that are not shared with anyone else. Even if you use a regular shared account, however, it is possible to acquire a dedicated IP address that will be in use just by your websites - one or a few. As this can add up to the speed of asite, it is much more likely that the website will get improved search engine result positions. Certainly, this isn't the only factor, but it is likely to help you have more website visitors and prospective clients. The dedicated IP is also needed if you intend to encode the info exchanged between the site and its visitors with an SSL certificate.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting
With a shared hosting account on our cloud platform, you can buy a dedicated IP address and assign it to any domain or subdomain with several clicks no matter where your account is - in the US, Britain or Australia. This can be done from the Hosted Domains part of our 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 assigned to. When you want to use an SSL certificate to secure the information of your website visitors and you get it from us, our system will assign a dedicated IP and set up the SSL for you, so you won't have to do anything manually on your end. In the meantime, 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 opinions about your services, for example.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
With just a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to add one or several dedicated IP addresses to your semi-dedicated plan and assign them to your websites. The Hosted Domains part of Hepsia will allow you to find the available IP addresses and to check the ones which are in use in no time. In case you want to obtain a new IP for an SSL certificate, you're able to use the auto-configuration function, that's available in our SSL order wizard. If you activate this option, you will not need to do anything after you post your order as our system will request a dedicated IP, assign it to the domain or subdomain involved, and then install the SSL certificate - all of this automatically and without the need of any action on your end. This way, you're able to secure the info that visitors upload on your website even if you don't have any previous experience with such matters.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
All of our VPS hosting plans provide you with one dedicated IP address by default and if you get a hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, DirectAdmin, cPanel) throughout the signup process, you'll get an additional one as well free of charge. You will be able to use them as you see fit - to access website content, to run a web app, to set up an SSL certificate, or even to register private name servers for any website which you have and use the latter for any other website that you wish to host on the server. The billing Control Panel where you'll be able to control all the plan renewals, upgrades and domain name registrations will allow you to order additional dedicated IPs if you need them for any purpose. A few minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you'll be able to use them immediately.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
All dedicated web hosting plans that we offer include 3 dedicated IP addresses as standard and free of charge. You can use them for any kind of purpose based on the content that you have on your server - a video game server or a Voice-Over-IP application, an SSL certificate for a website that you host, private name servers for a reseller domain which your customers may use to direct domains to their web hosting accounts, and many other things. In addition, you can purchase extra dedicated IP addresses from the Upgrades section of your billing Control Panel in case you need more than the ones which come with the plan. You'll be able to buy the IPs in sets of three and they will be added to your dedicated server shortly after you send your order, so that you can start using them without any delays.
