When you host a website on a server, it makes use of the server's shared IP - a special number which is used to distinguish a device connected to the Web. The domain name that you use for the site is for easy access and convenience of the site visitors, but on a more basic level, their web browser connects to the IP of the server. Since there're many more websites than IP addresses, shared hosting servers use a single IP for many different websites even in case they belong to separate users. While this does not affect the website performance directly, having a dedicated IP can slightly improve the loading speed of a given website, giving it superior rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is necessary for the installation of an SSL certificate as well, so if you want to protect the payment or login info that your website visitors enter, you should have an IP along with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Web Hosting

We provide dedicated IPs with all of our Linux web hosting irrespective of the data center location and you're able to get one or several IPs from your Hepsia Control Panel. A new section will appear inside your account and you'll be able to request, delete or view your IPs with several clicks. You are able to decide how many domains or subdomains will use a certain IP as you can assign one with a couple of clicks to every hostname. For example, www.domain.com can be your main website, which uses a server's shared IP, and shop.domain.com can be the subdomain where you offer goods or services on the web and it can have a dedicated IP together with an SSL certificate. You can change the IP that 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 sites to use one and the same dedicated IP provided that there's no SSL installed for it.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding your new dedicated IP address takes only a few clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very easy and intuitive to use, so even if you haven't had a website hosting account before, you won't experience any difficulties to obtain and assign a dedicated IP. Any domain or subdomain within the account can use its own IP address in place of the server's shared one and you will be able to make this change in 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. If you'd like to have an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order tool through which you are able to select everything to be installed automatically. With this feature, our system will change the IP address of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it will set up the certificate in a matter of minutes, so you won't need to do anything on your end other than authorizing the SSL order through e-mail.
