All devices on the Web are recognized by a special number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. In case you have a site, the domain that you enter in order to open it is for your convenience, yet the server where your website files are still has an IP address. Since there are many more websites and devices than there are IP addresses, all of the shared website hosting servers have a number of websites under an identical IP, whereas using a dedicated server you'll be given a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you can obtain a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you may enjoy improved search engine positions as a dedicated IP often means a faster loading website. Last but not least, you need such an IP in case you want to get an SSL certificate for your site and shield the info that visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Web Hosting

When you use a web hosting account on our cloud platform, you're able to purchase a dedicated IP address and assign it to any domain or subdomain with a couple of clicks regardless of where your account is - in the United States, Britain or Australia. This can be done through the Hosted Domains part of the intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you may also keep track of what IPs are available, what are in use and what sites they're assigned to. When you want to use an SSL certificate to protect the info of your visitors and you get it through our company, our system will assign a dedicated IP and install the SSL for you, so you will not have to do anything manually on your end. Meanwhile, you can still have a site in a subdomain as an addition to the main one under a shared IP address - a community forum where users can share thoughts and opinions about your services, for instance.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

All dedicated servers that we provide come with 3 dedicated IP addresses by default and absolutely free. You'll be able to employ them for any type of purpose based on the content that you've got on the server - a video game server or a Voice-Over-IP app, an SSL certificate for a website that you host, private name servers for a reseller domain which your clients may use to redirect domains to their web hosting accounts, and much more. In addition, you can order additional dedicated IP addresses from the Upgrades part of your billing Control Panel if you need more than the ones that come with the server. You will be able to purchase the IPs in sets of three and they shall be added to your dedicated server soon after you send your order, so that you can use them with no delays.
