All devices on the Internet are identified by a specific number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. When you have a site, the domain name that you enter in order to access it is for your convenience, but the server where your website files are still has an IP address. Considering that there're far more sites and devices than there are IP addresses, all of the shared hosting servers have a number of sites under an identical IP, whereas with a dedicated server you'll have a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you can acquire a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. One benefit would be that you'll enjoy superior search engine rankings as a dedicated IP often means a faster loading website. What's more, you need such an IP in case you intend to acquire an SSL certificate for your site and shield the info that your visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Web Hosting

With a shared web hosting account on our cloud platform, you are able to get a dedicated IP and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a couple of clicks regardless of where your account is - in the US, Great Britain or Australia. This can be done through the Hosted Domains area of the intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you may also keep track of what IPs are available, what are in use and what websites they're assigned to. If you would like to use an SSL certificate in order to protect the information of your website visitors and you acquire it from 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. In the meantime, you may still have a website in a subdomain as an add-on to the main one under a shared IP - a discussion board where users can share thoughts and opinions about your services, for instance.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

Since you will be able to run more or less anything on a dedicated server, all of our packages come with three dedicated IP addresses included as standard. If you would like to launch some server software or to set up an SSL certificate for a site that you host on the machine, you are able to use the IPs which we provide you with for free. In addition, you can register child name servers with one or two of the IP addresses for any domain name that you've registered with us or any place else and then employ them to direct other domains to the dedicated server. If you run a web hosting company, for instance, this option will contribute to your credibility as a standalone service provider. When you need more IP addresses than the three our packages provide you with, you will be able to buy additional ones in increments of three either throughout the signup process or from your billing Control Panel at any time.
