A dedicated IP address is an exclusive numeric identifier on the world wide web that's assigned to a device or a website. Shared hosting servers usually have a multitude of sites under a single IP, while dedicated ones have their own IPs that aren't shared with anybody else. Even if you use a standard shared account, however, you can buy a dedicated IP address that will be used just by your websites - one or a few. As this can add up to the speed of yourwebsite, it is much more likely that the site will get improved search engine result positions. Certainly, this isn't the sole factor, but it can help you find more site visitors and prospective customers. The dedicated IP is also required when you'd like to secure the information exchanged between the site and its visitors through an SSL certificate.
Dedicated IP Address in Website Hosting
We supply dedicated IP addresses with all our website hosting plans whatever the data center location and you're able to get one or several IPs through your Hepsia Control Panel. An additional section will appear inside your account and you're able to request, view or delete your IPs with a few clicks. You are able to choose what number of sites or subdomains will use a given IP as you can assign one with a few clicks to any hostname. For instance, www.domain.com can be the main website, that uses a server's shared IP, and shop.domain.com can be your subdomain where you offer services or goods on the internet and it might have a dedicated IP in addition to an SSL certificate. You can switch the IP that a domain uses through the Hosted Domains section where you can also keep track which IPs are in use and which ones are available. You may also set a few of your websites to use the same dedicated IP given that there's no SSL activated for it.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you purchase a semi-dedicated server account from us, you will get the option to get as many dedicated IP addresses as you like depending on the needs you have. It will take just a couple of clicks in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel to acquire a new IP plus a couple of more to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The process is really easy and your site will start opening from the new IP address in no time. Hepsia will allow you to see all the IPs which you will be able to use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. In case you would like to use an SSL certificate on some of your websites and you want a dedicated IP for it, you may take full advantage of our SSL order wizard, that can assign a new IP and set up the certificate once you submit your order, so you will not need to adjust anything in your semi-dedicated web hosting account manually.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
If you purchase a VPS server from us, you will receive one dedicated IP address as standard and an additional one in case you get a hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel). You can use the IP addresses for any sort of purpose - an Internet site, some web application such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you are able to use to point to your VPS any domain name that you plan to host. Also, you can add extra dedicated IPs to your VPS account when you need them. This can be done through the billing Control Panel that you'll obtain in order to manage renewals, upgrade purchases and domain registrations and it takes just a couple of clicks. Soon after you upload your order, the extra IP addresses will be accessible, so you're able to use them the way you like.

Using the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you'll receive to organize renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you will also be able to purchase more dedicated IPs in sets of three any time. They will be assigned to your server within minutes, so that you can start using them for your websites and web-based applications right away.
