If you host a site on a server, it works by using the server's shared IP address - a unique number that's used to identify a device connected to the World Wide Web. The website name that you use for the site is for easy access and convenience of the site visitors, but on a more basic level, their web browser connects to the IP of the server. Because there are far more websites than IP addresses, shared website hosting servers use a single IP for multiple websites even in case they are owned by several users. While this doesn't affect the website performance directly, using a dedicated IP may slightly boost the loading speed of a site, providing it better rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is required for the installation of an SSL certificate as well, so if you wish to secure the payment or login information that your website visitors submit, you need an IP together with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Web Hosting

We provide you with dedicated IPs with all of our web hosting plans regardless of the data center location and you can acquire one or several IPs from your Hepsia Control Panel. An extra section will appear in your account and you are able to request, delete or view your IPs with a few clicks. You can decide how many websites or subdomains will use a particular IP as you can assign one with a few clicks to every hostname. For instance, www.domain.com can be your main website, which uses a server's shared IP, whereas shop.domain.com can be your subdomain where you offer goods or services online and it might have a dedicated IP together with an SSL certificate. You can switch the IP which a site uses from the Hosted Domains section where you can also keep track which IPs are in use and which ones are available. You may also set some of your websites to use a single dedicated IP given that there is no SSL installed for it.
