All devices on the Internet are identified by a specific number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. In case you have a site, the domain that you enter to be able to load it is to save you time, yet the server where the website files are still has an IP address. Because there are many more sites and devices than there are IP addresses, all the shared web hosting servers have a number of websites under the same IP, whereas with a dedicated server you'll get a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you'll be able to acquire a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you'll enjoy improved search engine rankings as a dedicated IP generally means a faster loading website. In addition, you need such an IP in case you want to buy an SSL certificate for your website and shield the info that visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting
When you use some of our shared hosting plans, you'll be able to add a dedicated IP to your account in no time and assign it to a domain or subdomain with just a couple of clicks. This is valid whichever data center you've chosen for your account throughout the registration process, so you can take advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. In this way, you can have a dedicated IP for an e-commerce website, for example, while a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP as you can modify each and every domain or subdomain individually from the Hosted Domains part of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you get the SSL through our company, you'll be able to use our auto-configuration tool, that will assign an IP and install the SSL automatically for the site where you wish to use them.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Web Hosting
In case you get a dedicated server, you probably would like to run some web application or host numerous Internet sites, so we provide three dedicated IP addresses 100 % free with every single plan and you will be able to use them the way you like - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain name that you have registered here or through another company. The last option is really helpful in case you use your dedicated server to host clients' Internet sites as it will give you credibility and anonymity as a web hosting service provider. The server billing Control Panel will allow you to add additional IP addresses as well - the upgrade comes in increments of three and takes just a couple of clicks in the Upgrades section, therefore you're able to go ahead and employ the brand new dedicated IP addresses a couple of minutes after you send your order.
