All devices on the World Wide Web are identified by a specific number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. If you have a site, the domain that you enter in order to access it is to save you time, but the server where the website files are still has an IP address. Because there're far more sites and devices than there're IP addresses, all the shared website hosting servers have a number of sites under the very same IP, whereas using a dedicated server you'll be given 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 may enjoy better search engine rankings because a dedicated IP usually means a faster loading site. What is more, you need such an IP when you intend to acquire an SSL certificate for your site and protect the info that visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Web Hosting

We supply dedicated IPs with all our Linux cloud web hosting irrespective of the data center location and you can acquire one or several IPs through your Hepsia Control Panel. An extra section will show up as part of your account and you can request, view or delete your IPs with just a few clicks. You'll be able to decide how many domains or subdomains will use a given IP as you can assign one with a few clicks to any hostname. For instance, www.domain.com can be your main site, which uses a server's shared IP, whereas shop.domain.com can be the subdomain where you offer services or goods online and it might have a dedicated IP address together with an SSL certificate. You can change the IP which a website uses via the Hosted Domains section where you can also keep track which IPs are in use and which ones are available. You can also set a few of your websites to use a single dedicated IP given that there is no SSL activated for it.
