When you host a site on a server, it works by using the server's shared IP - an exclusive number that's used to detect a device connected to the Net. The website name that you use for the site is for easy access and convenience of the website visitors, but on a more basic level, their browser connects to the IP of the server. Due to the fact that there are a lot more sites than IPs, shared web hosting servers use the same IP for a variety of websites even in case they are owned by separate users. While this doesn't affect the website performance directly, using a dedicated IP can slightly improve the loading speed of a website, giving it better rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is needed for the installation of an SSL certificate too, so if you would like to protect the payment or login data that your website visitors enter, you need an IP alongside the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Web Hosting

With a web hosting account on our cloud platform, you will be able to obtain a dedicated IP and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a few clicks no matter where your account is - in the USA, Britain or Australia. This is done through the Hosted Domains part of our intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you can also monitor what IPs are available, what are in use and what websites they're allotted to. When you want to use an SSL certificate so as to secure the information of your website visitors and you get it from our company, our system can assign a dedicated IP and set up the SSL for you, so you won't be required to anything manually on your end. In the meantime, you can still have a website in a subdomain as an addition to the main one under a shared IP - a discussion forum where users can share thoughts and opinions about your services, for example.
