When you host a site on a server, it makes use of the server's shared IP address - a unique number that's used to identify a device connected to the Web. The website name which you use for the website is for quick access and convenience of the site visitors, but on a lower level, their web browser connects to the IP of the server. Since there are far more sites than IPs, shared web hosting servers use a single IP for several sites even in case they belong to several users. Even though this does not affect your site performance directly, using a dedicated IP may slightly improve the loading speed of a particular website, providing it superior positions in search engine results. Such an IP is essential for the installation of an SSL certificate as well, so when you want to protect the payment or login details that your website visitors enter, you need an IP together with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Website Hosting

When you use a shared website hosting account on our cloud platform, you will be able to get a dedicated IP and assign it to any domain or subdomain with a few clicks wherever your account is - in the US, Great Britain or Australia. This is done through the Hosted Domains area of the 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. If you want to use an SSL certificate so as to protect the information of your site visitors and you get it from us, our system will assign a dedicated IP and install the SSL for you, so you won't be required to anything manually on your end. Meanwhile, you may still have a site in a subdomain as an addition to the main one under a shared IP address - a discussion forum where users can share thoughts and opinions about your services, for example.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you acquire a semi-dedicated server account from us, you will get the option to get as many dedicated IP addresses as you would like depending on your preferences. It takes just a few clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel to acquire your new IP and a few more to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The process is really easy and your website will start loading from your new IP address in a few minutes. Hepsia will enable you to view all of the IP addresses that you'll be able to use, both shared & dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. If you want to use an SSL certificate on some of your websites and you want a dedicated IP for it, you can take advantage of our SSL order wizard, that will assign a new IP and set up the certificate as soon as you submit your order, so you will not need to adjust anything in your semi-dedicated website hosting account by yourself.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers

All of our VPS web hosting plans provide you with one dedicated IP address as standard and when you pick a hosting Control Panel (DirectAdmin, cPanel, Hepsia) throughout the registration process, you will obtain an additional one too free of cost. You can employ them the way you like - to access web content, to run a web application, to install an SSL certificate, or even to register private name servers for any website which you have and use the latter for any other domain that you plan to host on the server. The billing Control Panel where you will be able to control all the plan renewals, upgrades and domain registrations will enable you to order additional dedicated IPs if you need them for any purpose. Just a couple of minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you'll be able to use them without delay.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

As all of our dedicated servers come with three dedicated IP addresses included in the plans as standard, we'll give you a head start in case you want to run any application which needs this type of an IP. We supply them free of charge and you are able to use them for as long as you use the server for anything you would like - child name servers for any domain which you host, an SSL certificate for any website on your server, a software server (games, VOIP), etc. Using the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you will get to manage renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you can also get more dedicated IP addresses in groups of three at any time. They will be assigned to your server within minutes, so that you can start using them for your websites and web-based applications without delay.
