When you host a website on a server, it uses the server's shared IP - a special number that's used to detect any kind of device connected to the Web. The domain name which you use for the site is for quick access and convenience of the website visitors, but on a lower level, their Internet browser connects to the IP address of the server. As there are many more sites than IP addresses, shared web hosting servers use a single IP for several sites even in case they are owned by different users. While this doesn't affect the website performance directly, using a dedicated IP can slightly enhance the loading speed of a certain site, granting it better rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is required for the installation of an SSL certificate as well, so when you plan to protect the payment or login data that your site visitors submit, you'll need an IP along with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Website Hosting

In case you host your websites on our revolutionary cloud platform and you have a website hosting plan, you're able to add a dedicated IP to your account at any moment and assign it to any domain or subdomain with only a few clicks. This option is available in all the data centers where we offer services - Chicago (US), Coventry (UK) and Sydney (AU), so irrespective of your choice during the registration process, you'll be able to acquire a dedicated IP for your sites. You can add or remove an IPas well as to keep track of the free and used ones at any moment. If any of the IPs that you obtain will be used for an SSL certificate, you could enable the automatic configuration attribute in our SSL order wizard then our system will request and assign the IP before it sets up the certificate automatically. Our versatile platform will allow you to use a dedicated IP for a number of websites as well if it is not in use by an SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding your new dedicated IP address takes just a few clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very easy and intuitive to use, so even when you haven't had a hosting account before, you won't have any difficulties to get and assign a dedicated IP. Any domain or subdomain within the account can use its own IP address other than the server's shared one and you're able to make this change inside the Hosted Domains section, where you can also view all IPs that your sites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is free or you're already using it. If you need 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. Using this particular feature, our system will modify the IP of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it will install your certificate in a matter of minutes, so you won't have to do anything on your end other than authorizing the SSL order through e-mail.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers

Our VPS plans feature one dedicated IP address as standard and in case you choose a hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin) throughout the signup process, you'll get an extra one as well completely free. You will be able to employ them as you see fit - to access online content, to run a web application, to install an SSL certificate, or even to register private name servers for any website which you have and use the latter for any other website that you need to host on the server. The billing Control Panel where you're able to control all of the plan renewals, upgrades and domain registrations will allow you to order more dedicated IPs if you need them for any purpose. Just a couple of minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you'll be able to use them immediately.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

Since all of our dedicated web hosting plans feature three dedicated IP addresses provided in the plans as standard, we'll give you a head start if you want to run any application which requires this type of an IP. We supply them absolutely free and you're able to use them for as long as you use the server for anything you would like - child name servers for any domain that you host, an SSL certificate for any site on the server, a software server (online games, VOIP), etc. Using the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you'll obtain to manage renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you will also be able to acquire more dedicated IPs in groups of three whenever you want. They'll be assigned to your server in a few minutes, so that you can start using them for your sites and web-based applications right away.
