A dedicated IP address is an exclusive numeric identifier on the web which is given to a device or a website. Shared web hosting servers usually have a number of sites under the very same IP, while dedicated ones have their own IPs which are not shared with anybody else. Even if you use a regular shared account, however, it's possible to acquire a dedicated IP address that will be in use only by your websites - one or a few. Considering that this can contribute to the speed of awebsite, it is more likely that the website will get superior search engine result positions. Certainly, this is not the only factor, but it is likely to help you get more visitors and potential clients. The dedicated IP is also necessary when you wish to encrypt the information exchanged between the website and its visitors through an SSL certificate.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting
We offer dedicated IP addresses with all of our shared hosting irrespective of the data center location and you will be able to acquire one or several IPs from your Hepsia Control Panel. A fresh section will appear as part of your account and you're able to request, delete or view your IPs with a couple of clicks. You will be able to decide how many sites or subdomains will use a certain IP as you can assign one with a few clicks to every hostname. To give an example, www.domain.com can be the main website, that uses a server's shared IP, whereas shop.domain.com can be your subdomain where you offer services or goods on the web and it could have a dedicated IP address together with an SSL certificate. You can change the IP which a site uses via the Hosted Domains section where you can also keep track which IPs are in use and which ones are available. You may also set some of your websites to use a single dedicated IP given that there's no SSL activated for it.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding a new dedicated IP address takes just a few clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very easy and intuitive to use, so even when you have not had a website hosting account before, you won't have any kind of difficulties to obtain and assign a dedicated IP. Each domain or subdomain in the account can use its own IP as an alternative to the server's shared one and you will be able to make this change inside the Hosted Domains section, where you'll also see all IPs that your websites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is free or you are already using it. In case that you want an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order instrument through which you are able to select everything to be set up automatically. Using this feature, our system will change the IP of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it'll install the certificate in a couple of minutes, so you won't have to do anything on your end except for approving the SSL order through e-mail.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
In case you acquire a VPS server from us, you will receive a dedicated IP address automatically and an extra one when you obtain a web hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You will be able to use the IP addresses for any kind of purpose - a website, some web app such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you can use to point to your VPS any domain name which you wish to host. Also, you can add extra dedicated IP addresses to the VPS account when you need them. You can do this via the billing Control Panel that you will receive to take care of renewals, upgrade purchases and domain registrations and it takes only a few clicks. Soon after you upload your order, the additional IP addresses will be at your disposal, so you will be able to use them the way you like.

Since our Linux dedicated web hosting plans come with three dedicated IP addresses included in the plans by default, we'll give you a head start in case you would like to run any software which requires this type of an IP. We provide them free of charge and you will be able to use them for as long as you use your server for anything you'd like - child name servers for any domain name that you host, an SSL certificate for any website on your server, a software server (online games, VOIP), and so on. Using the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you will get to take care of renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you'll also be able to acquire more dedicated IP addresses in groups of three whenever you want. They will be assigned to your server in a few minutes, so you can start using them for your websites and web-based apps without delay.
