When you host a website on a server, it makes use of the server's shared IP address - an exclusive number that's used to distinguish any device connected to the Net. The website name that you use for the website is for easy access and convenience of the visitors, but on a lower level, their Internet browser connects to the IP of the server. Because there are far more websites than IP addresses, shared hosting servers use the very same IP for several sites even if they are owned by several users. While this does not affect the site performance directly, using a dedicated IP can slightly boost the loading speed of a site, giving it better rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is necessary for the setup of an SSL certificate as well, so if you plan to protect the payment or login information that your site visitors enter, you need an IP along with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Website Hosting

If you use some of our website hosting packages, you can add a dedicated IP address to your account without any difficulty and assign it to a domain or subdomain with just a few clicks. This is valid no matter which data center you have selected for your account throughout the signup process, so you're able to take full advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. This way, you can have a dedicated IP for an e-commerce website, for instance, while a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP because you can edit each domain or subdomain independently through the Hosted Domains area of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you get the SSL through us, you're able to use our auto-configuration instrument, that will assign an IP and install the SSL automatically for the site where you want to use them.

The process is very simple and your website will start opening from the new IP address in no time. Hepsia will allow you to view all of the IP addresses that you can use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are free or taken. If you want to use an SSL certificate on any of your sites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you can take advantage of our SSL order wizard, which will assign a new IP and set up the certificate the moment you send your order, so you won't need to adjust anything in your semi-dedicated web hosting account by yourself.
