If you host a site on a server, it makes use of the server's shared IP - a unique number which is used to distinguish every device connected to the Web. The domain name that you use for the website is for easy access and convenience of the website visitors, but on a lower level, their web browser connects to the IP address of the server. Considering that there are many more sites than IP addresses, shared hosting servers use the same IP for a variety of sites even if they belong to separate users. While this does not affect your website performance directly, having a dedicated IP can slightly enhance the loading speed of a certain site, providing it higher rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is needed for the installation of an SSL certificate too, so if you plan to protect the payment or login info that your website visitors enter, you need an IP together with the SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Hosting
We supply dedicated IP addresses with all our Linux cloud hosting whatever the data center location and you are able to acquire one or several IPs via your Hepsia Control Panel. A fresh section will appear in your account and you're able to request, view or delete your IPs with a couple of clicks. You will be able to select what number of domains or subdomains will use a particular IP since you can assign one with a couple of clicks to any hostname. For example, www.domain.com can be the main site, that 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 address in addition to an SSL certificate. You can switch the IP which a domain uses from the Hosted Domains section where you can also keep track which IPs are in use and which ones are available. You can also set some of your websites to use the same dedicated IP given that there is no SSL set up for it.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Hosting
Because all our Linux dedicated hosting feature three dedicated IP addresses as part of the plans by default, we'll give you a head start if you wish to run any app which needs this kind of an IP. We provide them free of charge and you can use them for as long as you use the server for anything you'd like - child name servers for any domain name which you host, an SSL certificate for any site on your server, a software server (online games, VOIP), and so on. From the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you'll get to take care of renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you'll also be able to get more dedicated IP addresses in sets of three whenever you want. They will be assigned to your server within minutes, so you can start using them for your websites and web-based apps without delay.
