When you host a website on a server, it works by using the server's shared IP - a unique number which is used to identify a device connected to the Net. The domain name which you use for the site is for easy access and convenience of the website visitors, but on a lower level, their web browser connects to the IP address of the server. As there're many more websites than IP addresses, shared website hosting servers use a single IP for several websites even if they are owned by separate users. While this doesn't affect your site performance directly, using a dedicated IP can slightly increase the loading speed of a site, giving it higher rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is necessary for the installation of an SSL certificate as well, so if you want to protect the payment or login information that your site visitors type in, you need an IP alongside the SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Website Hosting
Using a website hosting account on our cloud platform, you can get a dedicated IP address and assign it to any domain or subdomain with a few clicks wherever your account is - in the USA, Britain or Australia. This can be done through the Hosted Domains section of our intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you may also monitor what IPs are available, what are in use and what sites they're allotted to. When you want to use an SSL certificate in order to secure the information of your website visitors and you obtain it through our company, our system can assign a dedicated IP and set up the SSL for you, so you will not have to do anything manually on your end. In the meantime, you may 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 their opinion about your services, for example.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
The Hepsia Control Panel, that is provided with all of our semi-dedicated server plans, will make it very easy to acquire a dedicated IP address and use it for any site that you have in the account regardless if it's under a domain or a subdomain. With only a few clicks you will be able to order the IP and when our system assigns it, you can set it for one or more websites via the Hosted Domains part of the Control Panel. In the same location you'll also be able to view what IP is used by each and every domain or subdomain, a list of the dedicated IP addresses as well as if and what site they're assigned to? Provided the IP you need is for an SSL certificate, you'll be able to take full advantage of our user-friendly SSL wizard which will make the entire process really easy because it will request and assign an IP to the preferred domain/subdomain and then set up the SSL without the need of any action on your side aside from placing your order.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
We give a totally free dedicated IP address with each VPS servers that we provide and if you pick a website hosting Control Panel on your VPS order page, you'll receive one more dedicated IP 100 % free. The addresses can be used for virtually any purpose - a site provided you want to set up an SSL certificate or a server IP in case you want to manage some application like VOIP software, for instance. You can also use the the dedicated IP addresses to register child name servers for one or more websites that you have and after that you can set them as NS records for any other domain that you'd like to point to your Virtual Server. If you need extra dedicated IPs, it will take you just a few clicks in your billing Control Panel to acquire them and they'll be allocated to your server in minutes.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
As you are able to run pretty much anything on a dedicated server, all of our plans feature three dedicated IP addresses included as standard. In case you need to launch some server software or to set up an SSL certificate for a site that you host on the machine, you'll be able to use the IPs that we provide you with free of charge. You may also register child name servers with one or two of the IPs for any domain name that you have registered with our company or elsewhere then use them to point other domains to the dedicated server. If you have a web hosting company, for instance, this option will contribute to your credibility as an independent provider. When you need more IPs than the three our packages feature, you'll be able to purchase extra ones in increments of 3 either during the registration process or through your billing Control Panel any time.
