A dedicated IP address is a unique numeric identifier on the net which is assigned to a device or a website. Shared web hosting servers usually have a lot of websites under the very same IP, while dedicated ones have their own IPs that are not shared with others. Even when you use a common shared account, however, you'll be able to obtain a dedicated IP address that will be in use only by your sites - one or a few. Considering that this can contribute to the speed of yourwebsite, it's more likely that the site will get superior search engine result rankings. Of course, that isn't the sole factor, but it is likely to help you find more website visitors and potential clients. The dedicated IP is also necessary if you'd like to secure the information exchanged between a site and its visitors using an SSL certificate.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding your new dedicated IP takes just a couple of clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very easy and intuitive to use, so even if you haven't had a web hosting account previously, you will not experience any kind of difficulties to get and assign a dedicated IP. Any domain or subdomain in the account can use its own IP address rather than the server's shared one and you are able to make this change from the Hosted Domains section, where you'll also find all IPs that your sites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is accessible or you are already using it. In case that you wish to have an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order instrument through which you'll be able to select everything to be installed automatically. Using this feature, our system will modify the IP address of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it will install the certificate in a couple of minutes, so you will not have to do anything on your end except for approving your SSL request through email.
