All devices on the Web are recognized by a unique number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. When you have a site, the domain that you enter in order to access it is to save you time, yet the server where the site files are still has an IP address. Considering that there are a lot more websites and devices than there're IPs, all of the shared hosting servers have a number of websites under an identical IP, whereas with a dedicated server you'll get a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you're able to acquire a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One benefit would be that you'll get superior search engine positions as a dedicated IP usually means a faster loading website. Last but not least, you need such an IP if you plan to get an SSL certificate for your site and secure the info that your visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Hosting
When you use a hosting account on our cloud platform, you're able to purchase a dedicated IP and assign it to any domain or subdomain with several clicks regardless of where your account is - in the USA, the United Kingdom 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 allotted to. When you would like to use an SSL certificate in order to secure the info of your visitors and you acquire it from our company, 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. In the meantime, you can still have a site in a subdomain as an add-on to the main one under a shared IP address - a discussion board where users can share thoughts and opinions about your services, for instance.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding your new dedicated IP address takes just a few clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very easy and intuitive to use, so even if you have not had a web hosting account before, you won't encounter any kind of difficulties to get and assign a dedicated IP. Every domain or subdomain inside the account can use its own IP as an alternative to the server's shared one and you're able to make this change from the Hosted Domains section, where you'll also view all IPs that your websites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is accessible 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 set up automatically. With this particular 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 couple of minutes, so you will not need to do anything on your end except for approving your SSL request through email.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
If you acquire a VPS server from us, you'll get one dedicated IP address as standard and another one if you obtain a website hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You are able to use the IP addresses for any kind of purpose - a website, some web app such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you can use to point to your VPS any website that you plan to host. In addition, you can add extra dedicated IPs to the VPS account if you need them. You can do this through the billing Control Panel that you'll obtain in order to control renewals, upgrade purchases and domain registrations and it takes only a few clicks. Soon after you send your order, the extra IP addresses will be at your disposal, so you'll be able to use them the way you like.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
All of the Linux dedicated service that we supply include three dedicated IP addresses as standard and free of charge. You will be able to use them for any kind of purpose depending on the content that you have on the server - a game server or a Voice-Over-IP application, an SSL certificate for a site that you host, private name servers for a reseller domain which your clients can use to direct domains to their hosting accounts, etceterra. You will also be able to buy extra dedicated IP addresses through the Upgrades section of your billing Control Panel in case you need more than the ones that come with the server. You're able to buy the IPs in groups of three and they will be added to your dedicated server shortly after you send your order, which means that you can use them without any delays.
