If you host a website on a server, it employs the server's shared IP address - a special number which is used to identify every device connected to the Net. The website name that you use for the website is for easy access and convenience of the visitors, but on a more basic level, their browser connects to the IP address of the server. As there are a lot more websites than IPs, shared hosting servers use a single IP for many different sites even if they are owned by separate users. Even though this does not affect the site performance directly, having a dedicated IP can slightly improve the loading speed of a given site, giving it superior rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is required for the installation of an SSL certificate as well, so if you plan to secure the payment or login information that your site visitors enter, you need an IP together with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Hosting

We provide dedicated IPs with all of our cloud plans regardless of the data center location and you are able to obtain one or several IPs from your Hepsia Control Panel. A fresh section will appear in your account and you'll be able to request, view or delete your IPs with just a few clicks. You will be able to decide how many domains or subdomains will use a particular IP since you can assign one with a few clicks to any hostname. For example, www.domain.com can be the main site, which uses a server's shared IP, and shop.domain.com can be a subdomain where you offer services or goods on the internet and it can have a dedicated IP in addition to an SSL certificate. You can change the IP which a website uses from 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 websites to use the same dedicated IP provided that there is no SSL set up for it.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

All the dedicated web hosting plans that we provide include 3 dedicated IP addresses as standard and absolutely free. You'll be able to employ them for any purpose based on the content that you have on your server - an online game server or a Voice-Over-IP app, an SSL certificate for a website that you host, private name servers for a reseller domain that your customers may use to redirect domain names to their hosting accounts, etc. What's more, you can acquire additional dedicated IP addresses via the Upgrades part of your billing Control Panel in case you need more than the ones that come with your server. You'll be able to buy the IPs in groups 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 delays.
