If you host a site on a server, it uses the server's shared IP address - a unique number that is used to distinguish any device connected to the Net. The website name that you use for the website is for quick access and convenience of the site visitors, but on a lower level, their Internet browser connects to the IP of the server. Due to the fact that there're a lot more sites than IP addresses, shared hosting servers use the same IP for multiple websites even if they belong to several users. Even though this does not affect your website performance directly, having a dedicated IP may slightly enhance the loading speed of a certain site, providing it superior rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is needed for the installation of an SSL certificate as well, so if you would like to secure the payment or login data that your site visitors type in, you'll need an IP alongside the SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Hosting
We supply dedicated IP addresses with all our Linux cloud packages whatever the data center location and you are able to obtain one or several IPs via your Hepsia Control Panel. An additional section will appear in your account and you'll be able to request, delete or view your IPs with a couple of clicks. You're able to select how many sites or subdomains will use a certain IP as you can assign one with a few clicks to any hostname. For instance, www.domain.com can be the main site, that uses a server's shared IP, whereas shop.domain.com can be your subdomain where you offer services or goods on the web and it might have a dedicated IP address in addition to an SSL certificate. You can switch the IP which 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 a single dedicated IP as long as there's no SSL activated for it.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you acquire a semi-dedicated server account from us, you have the opportunity to obtain as many dedicated IPs as you like depending on your needs. It will take just a couple of clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel to get a new IP plus a couple of more so as to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The entire process is very simple and your site will start opening from your new IP address within minutes. Hepsia will enable you to see all the IPs which you're able to use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. In case you want to use an SSL certificate on some of your sites and you want a dedicated IP for it, you may take advantage of our SSL order wizard, that will assign a new IP and install the certificate as soon as you send your order, so you don't need to customize anything in your semi-dedicated web hosting account manually.

You can also use the IP addresses to create child name servers for one or multiple website names that you have and then you can set them as NS records for any other domain that you'd like to redirect to your Virtual Server. When you need additional dedicated IPs, it will take you only a few clicks in your billing Control Panel to get them and they'll be allotted to your server in minutes.
