All devices on the World Wide Web are recognized by a specific number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. In case you have a website, the domain that you enter in order to access it is to save you time, yet the server where the site files are still has an IP address. Considering that there are many more websites and devices than there are IPs, all of the shared hosting servers have a number of websites under an identical IP, whereas with a dedicated server you'll get a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you can get a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you'll enjoy superior search engine rankings as a dedicated IP usually means a quicker loading website. Also, you need such an IP if you want to buy an SSL certificate for your website and secure the data that your visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding your new dedicated IP address takes only a few clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very simple and intuitive to use, so even if you haven't had a web hosting account previously, you will not encounter any difficulties to obtain and assign a dedicated IP address. Any domain or subdomain inside the account can use its own IP rather than the server's shared one and you can make this change in the Hosted Domains section, where you will also see all IPs that your sites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is accessible or you're already using it. If you wish to have an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order instrument through which you'll be able to select everything to be installed automatically. With this particular feature, our system will change the IP address of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it'll install the certificate in a matter of minutes, so you shall not have to do anything on your end apart from approving the SSL request via e-mail.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Hosting
In case you acquire a virtual private server from our company, you will get one dedicated IP address as standard and a second one when you acquire a web hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You are able to use the IPs for any purpose - a site, some web application such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you can use to point to your VPS any website that you would like to host. Also, you can add extra dedicated IP addresses to your VPS account when you need them. You can do this through the billing Control Panel that you will obtain to take care of renewals, upgrades and domain registrations and it will take just a few clicks. Shortly after you upload your order, the extra IP addresses will be at your disposal, so you'll be able to use them as you see fit.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Web Hosting
As you'll be able to run more or less anything on a dedicated server, all of our packages feature 3 dedicated IP addresses included as standard. In case you want to launch some server software or to install an SSL certificate for a website that you host on the machine, you are able to use the IPs which we provide free of charge. You can also register child name servers with one or two of the IPs for any domain name that you have registered with our company or somewhere else then employ them to point other domains to the dedicated server. When you run a hosting company, for instance, the aforementioned option will contribute to your credibility as an independent supplier. When you need more IP addresses than the three the plans include, you will be able to purchase additional ones in increments of three either throughout the registration process or from your billing Control Panel any time.
