All devices on the Web are identified by a special number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. If you have a website, the domain that you type in order to access it is to save you time, however the server where your site files are still has an IP. Considering that there are many more sites and devices than there are IPs, all shared website hosting servers have a number of sites under the same IP, while using a dedicated server you'll have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you'll be able to obtain a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you'll have improved search engine rankings since a dedicated IP usually means a quicker loading website. What is more, you need such an IP when you want to purchase an SSL certificate for your site and shield the info that visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting
We provide you with dedicated IPs with all our Linux shared hosting irrespective of the data center location and you will be able to get one or several IPs using your Hepsia Control Panel. A new section will appear in your account and you are able to request, view or delete your IPs with just a couple of clicks. You can choose how many sites or subdomains will use a particular IP since you can assign one with a few clicks to every hostname. For instance, www.domain.com can be the main website, that uses a server's shared IP, whereas shop.domain.com can be the subdomain where you offer services or goods online and it can have a dedicated IP along with an SSL certificate. You can switch the IP that 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 may also set a few of your sites to use the same dedicated IP given that there is no SSL installed for it.
