All devices on the Web are identified 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 load it is for your convenience, but the server where the site files are still has an IP. Due to the fact that there are far more websites and devices than there're IPs, all of the shared web hosting servers have a number of sites under an identical IP, while using a dedicated server you'll have a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you're able to obtain a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you may have superior search engine rankings since a dedicated IP often means a faster loading site. Also, you need such an IP in case you intend to acquire an SSL certificate for your site and shield the data that visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Website Hosting
We provide dedicated IPs with all of our Linux website hosting regardless of the data center location and you'll be able to buy one or several IPs from your Hepsia Control Panel. An additional section will appear inside your account and you will be able to request, delete or view your IPs with a couple of clicks. You are able to choose what number of domains or subdomains will use a given IP as you can assign one with a few clicks to any hostname. For example, www.domain.com can be the main website, that uses a server's shared IP, whereas shop.domain.com can be a subdomain where you offer goods or services on the internet and it can have a dedicated IP combined with an SSL certificate. You can change the IP which a domain 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 the same dedicated IP as long as there's no SSL installed for it.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, that comes with all of our semi-dedicated server packages, will make it very simple to purchase a dedicated IP and use it for each website that you have in the account regardless if it's under a domain or a subdomain. With only a few clicks you'll be able to order the IP and as soon as our system assigns it, you'll be able to set it for one or more sites through the Hosted Domains area of the Control Panel. In the same place you can also find what IP is used by each domain or subdomain, an index of the dedicated IP addresses as well as if and what website they're assigned to? If the IP you need is for an SSL certificate, you'll be able to take advantage of our helpful SSL wizard which will make the entire process really easy as it'll request and assign an IP to the preferred domain/subdomain and then set up the SSL without any action on your side other than placing the order.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Hosting
As all of our dedicated hosting feature 3 dedicated IP addresses included in the plans as standard, we will give you a serious advantage if you would like to run any app that requires such an IP. We supply them at no charge and you'll be able to use them for as long as you use the server for anything you'd like - child name servers for any domain that you host, an SSL certificate for any site on your server, a software server (online games, VOIP), etcetera. From the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you will get to control renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you'll also be able to get more dedicated IP addresses in groups of three whenever you need. They will be assigned to your server within a few minutes, so that you can start using them for your sites and web-based apps without delay.
