All devices on the Internet are recognized by a specific number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. When you have a site, the domain name that you type to access it is for your convenience, yet the server where your site files are still has an IP address. Because there are many more sites and devices than there are IP addresses, all shared web hosting servers have a number of sites under an identical IP, whereas when you use a dedicated server you will have a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you are able to obtain a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you will get improved search engine positions because a dedicated IP usually means a faster loading site. In addition, you need such an IP if you intend to get an SSL certificate for your website and protect the info that visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting

In case you host your sites on our outstanding cloud platform and you have a shared hosting plan, you can add a dedicated IP to your account at any moment and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a few clicks. The aforementioned option is accessible in all data center facilities where we provide services - Chicago (US), Coventry (UK) and Sydney (AU), so regardless of your choice throughout the registration process, you are able to acquire a dedicated IP for your sites. You will be able to add or remove an IPas well as to keep track of the free and used ones at any time. If any of the IPs that you purchase will be used for an SSL certificate, you can enable the automatic configuration feature in our SSL order wizard and then our system will request & assign the IP before it installs your certificate automatically. Our flexible platform will enable you to use a dedicated IP address for a variety of websites as well if it's not in use by an SSL.

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 couple of clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very simple and intuitive to use, so even if you haven't had a website hosting account before, you won't experience any difficulties to get and assign a dedicated IP. Every domain or subdomain within the account can use its own IP rather than the server's shared one and you'll be able to make this change inside the Hosted Domains section, where you'll also find all IPs that your websites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is free or you're already using it. If you'd like to have an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order instrument through which you can select everything to be installed automatically. With this feature, our system will change the IP address of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it will install the certificate in a matter of minutes, so you won't have to do anything on your end except for authorizing your SSL order through e-mail.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Hosting

We give a zero cost dedicated IP address with each Linux VPS hosting packages that we provide and if you select a web hosting Control Panel on the VPS order page, you will obtain an additional dedicated IP free of charge. Your addresses can be employed for virtually any purpose - a website if you would like to set up an SSL certificate or a server IP in case you want to run some app such as VOIP software, for instance. You can also use the IP addresses to register child name servers for one or more website names that you have and then you can set them as NS records for any other domain that you would like to redirect to your Virtual Server. When you need more dedicated IP addresses, it will take you only a few clicks from your billing Control Panel to order them and they'll be allotted to your server in a matter of minutes.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Web Hosting

As all our Linux dedicated web hosting offer three dedicated IP addresses provided in the plans as standard, we'll give you a head start if you would like to run any software which needs this kind of an IP. We provide them at no charge and you are able to use them for as long as you use your server for anything you'd like - child name servers for any domain that you host, an SSL certificate for any website on your server, a software server (games, VOIP), etcetera. Using the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you'll receive to control renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you'll also be able to obtain more dedicated IPs in sets of three at any time. They will be assigned to your server within minutes, so you can start using them for your sites and web-based applications right away.
