All devices on the World Wide Web are recognized by a special number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. When you have a website, the domain that you enter to be able to load it is for your convenience, but the server where the site files are still has an IP address. Considering that there're a lot more websites and devices than there are IPs, all of the shared hosting servers have a number of sites under an identical IP, while with a dedicated server you'll get a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you can get a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you may have improved search engine rankings as a dedicated IP often means a quicker loading website. Last but not least, you need such an IP if you want to buy an SSL certificate for your site and protect the information that your visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting

We provide you with dedicated IPs with all of our Linux shared hosting irrespective of the data center location and you will be able to purchase one or several IPs through your Hepsia Control Panel. A new section will show up inside your account and you are able to request, view or delete your IPs with a couple of clicks. You'll be able to decide what number of websites or subdomains will use a particular IP since you can assign one with a couple of clicks to any hostname. For instance, www.domain.com can be your main website, which uses a server's shared IP, while shop.domain.com can be a subdomain where you offer services or goods on the net and it can have a dedicated IP in addition to an SSL certificate. You can switch the IP that a website uses via 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 a single dedicated IP given that there is no SSL activated for it.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you buy a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you'll get the option to get as many dedicated IP addresses as you like depending on your business needs. It will take just a few clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel to get a new IP and a few more in order to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The process is really easy and your website will start opening from your new IP address in a few minutes. Hepsia will enable you to see all the IPs which you're able to use, both shared & dedicated, and which of the latter are free or taken. In case you'd like to use an SSL certificate on some of your sites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you can take full advantage of our SSL order wizard, that will assign a new IP and install the certificate as soon as you upload your order, so you will not have to adjust anything in your semi-dedicated hosting account by yourself.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Hosting

All the Linux dedicated hosting that we offer come with 3 dedicated IP addresses by default and absolutely free. You will be able to use them for any purpose according to the content that you've got 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 that your clients can use to direct domains to their website hosting accounts, etceterra. You will also be able to acquire extra dedicated IP addresses through the Upgrades part of your billing Control Panel in case you need more than the ones that come with your server. You can acquire the IPs in groups of three and they will be added to your dedicated server right after you send your order, so you can start using them with no delays.
