When you host a website on a server, it makes use of the server's shared IP - an exclusive number that's used to detect a device connected to the Web. The website name that you use for the site is for easy access and convenience of the website visitors, but on a more basic level, their Internet browser connects to the IP of the server. As there are a lot more sites than IPs, shared website hosting servers use the same IP for a number of sites even if they belong to different users. While this does not affect your site performance directly, having a dedicated IP may slightly boost the loading speed of a particular site, granting it better rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is essential for the setup of an SSL certificate too, so when you plan to protect the payment or login details that your website visitors submit, you should have an IP alongside the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Website Hosting

With a shared website hosting account on our cloud platform, you are able to acquire a dedicated IP and assign it to any domain or subdomain with several clicks regardless of where your account is - in the US, the UK or Australia. This can be done through the Hosted Domains section of the intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you can also monitor what IPs are available, what are in use and what sites they're allotted to. If you wish to use an SSL certificate so as to secure the info of your site visitors and you obtain it from us, our system will assign a dedicated IP and install the SSL for you, so you won't need to do anything manually on your end. Meanwhile, you may still have a website in a subdomain as an addition to the main one under a shared IP - a community forum where users can share thoughts and opinions about your services, for example.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

Because all of our dedicated servers offer three dedicated IP addresses included in the plans by default, we'll give you a head start if you'd like to run any application that needs this kind of an IP. We supply them cost-free and you can use them for as long as you use your server for anything you'd like - child name servers for any domain which you host, an SSL certificate for any site on the server, a software server (online games, VOIP), and so on. From the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you'll get to organize renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you can also get more dedicated IP addresses in sets of three whenever you need. They'll be assigned to your server very quickly, so you can start using them for your sites and web-based apps right away.
