If you host a site on a server, it makes use of the server's shared IP - an exclusive number that's used to detect any kind of device connected to the Internet. The domain name that you use for the website is for easy accessibility and convenience of the visitors, but on a more basic level, their Internet browser connects to the IP of the server. Considering that there're a lot more websites than IP addresses, shared web hosting servers use the same IP for a variety of sites even if they are owned by separate users. Even though this does not affect the site performance directly, using a dedicated IP can slightly increase the loading speed of a given website, providing it higher rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is needed for the setup of an SSL certificate too, so if you plan to secure the payment or login info that your site visitors type in, you should have an IP alongside the SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Website Hosting
When you use some of our cloud website hosting plans, you'll be able to add a dedicated IP to your account in no time and assign it to a domain or subdomain with no more than a few clicks. This is valid whichever data center you've selected for the account throughout the sign-up process, thus you can use this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. In this way, you can have a dedicated IP for an e-commerce site, for instance, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP because you can modify each and every domain or subdomain individually from the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you'd like a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you get the SSL through our company, you can use our auto-configuration instrument, that will assign an IP and set up the SSL automatically for the website where you wish to use them.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
Due to the fact that you will be able to run pretty much anything on a dedicated server, all of our packages come with 3 dedicated IP addresses included by default. If you need to launch some server software or to activate an SSL certificate for a website that you host on the machine, you can use the IPs which we supply without charge. You may also register child name servers with one or two of the IPs for any website name that you've registered with our company or anywhere else and then employ them to direct other domains to the dedicated server. When you manage a hosting company, for example, the aforementioned option will contribute to your credibility as an independent provider. When you need more IP addresses than the three the plans provide you with, you're able to get extra ones in increments of 3 either throughout the signup process or through your billing Control Panel any time.
