All devices on the Web are identified by a specific number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. When you have a website, the domain that you enter to access it is to save you time, however the server where the site files are still has an IP. Considering that there're many more sites and devices than there're IP addresses, all of the shared web hosting servers have a number of websites under the very same IP, whereas using a dedicated server you'll have a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you will be able to get a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you'll enjoy far better search engine positions as a dedicated IP usually means a faster loading website. What's more, you need such an IP when you want to obtain an SSL certificate for your site and shield the data that your visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Website Hosting
We provide dedicated IPs with all of our cloud website hosting whatever the data center location and you can obtain one or several IPs from your Hepsia Control Panel. An additional section will appear in your account and you can request, delete or view your IPs with a few clicks. You will be able to choose what number of domains or subdomains will use a certain IP as you can assign one with a couple of clicks to any hostname. For example, www.domain.com can be your main website, that uses a server's shared IP, while shop.domain.com can be a subdomain where you offer services or goods on the web and it might have a dedicated IP address combined with an SSL certificate. You can change the IP which a domain 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 sites to use a single dedicated IP provided that there is no SSL set up for it.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you get a semi-dedicated server account through us, you will have the opportunity to obtain as many dedicated IPs as you like depending on your business needs.

The process is really easy and your site will start opening from your new IP address in no time. Hepsia will allow you to view all of the IPs which you'll be able to use, both shared & dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. Provided you'd like to use an SSL certificate on some 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 as soon as you upload your order, so you will not need to modify anything in your semi-dedicated hosting account by yourself.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers

You will be able to use the IPs for any purpose - an Internet site, some web application such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you are able to use to point to your VPS any domain which you wish to host. You can even add more dedicated IP addresses to your VPS account when you need them. You can do this via the billing Control Panel that you'll get in order to control renewals, upgrade purchases and domain registrations and it will take just a few clicks. Soon after you post your order, the extra IP addresses will be at your disposal, so you are able to use them the way you like.
