All devices on the World Wide Web are identified by a unique number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. In case you have a site, the domain name that you enter to open it is to save you time, but the server where the site files are still has an IP address. Since there are a lot more sites and devices than there are IPs, all of the shared web hosting servers have a number of websites under an identical IP, while using a dedicated server you'll have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you'll be able to obtain a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you'll have improved search engine rankings since a dedicated IP generally means a faster loading site. Also, you need such an IP if you intend to get an SSL certificate for your site and secure the info that your visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Website Hosting

When you use some of our shared website hosting packages, you can add a dedicated IP to your account with ease and assign it to a domain or subdomain with no more than a few clicks. This is valid no matter which data center you have chosen for your account during the registration process, which means that you are able to take advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. This way, you can have a dedicated IP for an e-commerce website, for instance, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP because you can adjust each and every domain or subdomain individually through the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you acquire the SSL through our company, you'll be able to use the auto-configuration tool, which will assign an IP and install the SSL automatically for the site where you'd like to use them.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Hosting

All of the Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that we supply feature three dedicated IP addresses as standard and for free. You can use them for any type of purpose based on the content that you've got on the server - an online 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 customers may use to direct domains to their hosting accounts, and many other things. You will also be able to obtain additional dedicated IPs via the Upgrades section of your billing Control Panel in case you need more than the ones that come with your server. You will be able to acquire the IPs in sets of three and they will be added to your dedicated server shortly after you submit your order, so you can start using them without delays.
