All devices on the World Wide Web are recognized by a specific number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. If you have a website, the domain that you enter in order to load it is to save you time, yet the server where your website files are still has an IP address. Since there're a lot more sites and devices than there are IP addresses, all of the shared website hosting servers have a number of sites under an identical IP, whereas with a dedicated server you'll get a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you will be able to obtain a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you will have superior search engine rankings since a dedicated IP often means a quicker loading website. What is more, you need such an IP in case you want to obtain an SSL certificate for your website and protect the information that visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Hosting

When you use a cloud hosting account on our cloud platform, you are able to obtain a dedicated IP and assign it to any domain or subdomain with a couple of clicks wherever your account is - in the USA, the UK or Australia. This is done from the Hosted Domains section of the intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you may also monitor what IPs are available, what are in use and what sites they are assigned to. In case you would like 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 install the SSL for you, so you will not be required to anything manually on your end. Meanwhile, you can still have a website in a subdomain as an add-on to the main one under a shared IP address - a discussion forum where users can share their opinion about your services, for example.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

Since 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 wish to launch some server software or to set up an SSL certificate for a website that you host on the machine, you can use the IPs that we supply absolutely free. You may also register child name servers with one or two of the IPs for any domain name that you've registered through our company or somewhere else and use them to direct other domains to the dedicated server. If you have a hosting company, for instance, the aforementioned option will contribute to your credibility as a standalone supplier. In case you need more IP addresses than the three our plans come with, you will be able to purchase extra ones in increments of 3 either during the signup process or from your billing Control Panel any time.
