All devices on the Internet are recognized by a special number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. When you have a site, the domain name that you enter in order to load it is to save you time, however the server where your site files are still has an IP address. Since there're far more websites and devices than there're IP addresses, all the shared website hosting servers have a number of sites under the very same IP, whereas with a dedicated server you'll be given a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you will be able to get a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One benefit would be that you'll have better search engine rankings as a dedicated IP usually means a faster loading website. What is more, you need such an IP if you would like to get an SSL certificate for your site and protect the data that visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting
We offer dedicated IPs with all our Linux shared hosting irrespective of the data center location and you'll be able to buy one or several IPs from your Hepsia Control Panel. A new section will show up as part of your account and you can request, view or delete your IPs with a couple of clicks. You're able to select what number of websites or subdomains will use a particular IP since you can assign one with a few clicks to every hostname. For example, www.domain.com can be the main site, which uses a server's shared IP, whereas shop.domain.com can be a subdomain where you offer services or goods on the net and it can have a dedicated IP in addition to an SSL certificate. You can change the IP that 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 may also set a few of your websites to use one and the same dedicated IP provided that there's no SSL set up for it.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding a new dedicated IP address takes just a couple of clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very simple and intuitive to use, so even when you haven't had a web hosting account before, you will not experience any kind of difficulties to acquire and assign a dedicated IP. Every domain or subdomain inside the account can use its own IP address in place of the server's shared one and you are able to make this change inside the Hosted Domains section, where you'll also find all IPs that your websites can use and if a dedicated IP is available or you're already using it. In case that you need an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order instrument through which you will be able to select everything to be set up automatically. With this particular feature, our system will modify the IP address of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it will set up the certificate in a matter of minutes, so you will not have to do anything on your end apart from authorizing your SSL order through email.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
Since you're able to run almost anything on a dedicated server, all of our plans come with three dedicated IP addresses included as standard. If you want to launch some server software or to set up an SSL certificate for a website that you host on the machine, you'll be able to use the IPs which we supply without charge. You may also register child name servers with one or two of the IPs for any domain name that you've registered with us or somewhere else then employ them to point other domains to the dedicated server. When you manage a web hosting company, for instance, this option will contribute to your credibility as an independent provider. If you need more IP addresses than the three the packages include, you'll be able to buy extra ones in increments of three either during the signup process or through your billing Control Panel at any time.
