All devices on the Internet are identified by a special number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. If you have a website, the domain name that you enter to access it is to save you time, but the server where your site files are still has an IP. Because there are far more sites and devices than there are IPs, all of the shared hosting servers have a number of sites under the same IP, while using a dedicated server you'll get a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you can obtain a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you may get better search engine positions because a dedicated IP usually means a faster loading site. Last but not least, you need such an IP in case you want to buy an SSL certificate for your site and secure the data that your visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting
We supply dedicated IPs with all of our Linux shared hosting packages irrespective of the data center location and you will be able to buy one or several IPs via your Hepsia Control Panel. An extra section will appear in your account and you are able to request, view or delete your IPs with several clicks. You can decide how many domains or subdomains will use a particular IP since you can assign one with a few clicks to any hostname. To give an example, www.domain.com can be your main website, which uses a server's shared IP, whereas shop.domain.com can be a subdomain where you offer goods or services online and it could have a dedicated IP address along with an SSL certificate. You can switch 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 a few of your websites to use one and the same dedicated IP as long as there's no SSL activated for it.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Hosting
In case you buy a dedicated server, you probably would like to run a web app or host a number of sites, so we supply 3 dedicated IPs free of cost with every single package and you are able to use them as you decide - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain which you have registered here or through another company. The last option is really useful in case you use the dedicated server to host users' sites since it will give you credibility and anonymity as a hosting supplier. The server billing Control Panel will make it easier to add extra IP addresses as well - the upgrade comes in increments of three and takes just a couple of clicks in the Upgrades section, so you'll be able to go ahead and employ the brand new dedicated IPs a few minutes after you send your order.
