All devices on the Web are recognized by a unique number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. In case you have a website, the domain name that you enter in order to load it is for your convenience, yet the server where your site files are still has an IP address. Due to the fact that there are many more websites and devices than there are IP addresses, all of the shared web hosting servers have a number of websites under an identical IP, while using a dedicated server you will have a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you can get a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you'll enjoy better search engine positions since a dedicated IP often means a quicker loading website. Furthermore, you need such an IP when you plan to acquire an SSL certificate for your site and shield the data that your visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Website Hosting
When you use some of our shared website hosting packages, you will be able to add a dedicated IP to your account with ease and assign it to any domain or subdomain with no more than a few clicks. This is valid no matter which data center you've chosen for the account throughout the registration process, therefore you can take full advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. This way, you can have a dedicated IP for an e-commerce site, for example, while a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP because you can adjust each domain or subdomain separately from the Hosted Domains part of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you'd like a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you get the SSL through us, you're able to use our auto-configuration instrument, which will assign an IP and install the SSL automatically for the website where you want to use them.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, that comes with our semi-dedicated server packages, will make it really easy to buy a dedicated IP and use it for any website that you have in the account regardless if it is under a domain or a subdomain. With only a few clicks you can order the IP and once our system assigns it, you can set it for one or several websites via the Hosted Domains section of the Control Panel. In the same place you'll also be able to see what IP is used by each domain or subdomain, a long list of the dedicated IPs as well as if and what website they are assigned to? In case the IP you will need is for an SSL certificate, you can take advantage of our user-friendly SSL wizard which will make the overall process very simple since it will request and assign an IP to the preferred domain/subdomain and then install the SSL without any action on your side aside from placing your order.
