When you host a site on a server, it works by using the server's shared IP address - a special number which is used to distinguish any device connected to the Web. The website name which you use for the website is for easy accessibility and convenience of the website visitors, but on a lower level, their web browser connects to the IP address of the server. Since there're many more websites than IPs, shared website hosting servers use the very same IP for a number of sites even in case they are owned by separate users. While this does not affect your site performance directly, using a dedicated IP may slightly increase the loading speed of a website, giving it superior positions in search engine results. Such an IP is necessary for the installation of an SSL certificate as well, so if you want to secure the payment or login details that your website visitors submit, you should have an IP together with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Website Hosting

With a shared website hosting account on our cloud platform, you will be able to obtain a dedicated IP address and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a few clicks wherever your account is - in the United States, the United Kingdom or Australia. This is done through the Hosted Domains area of the intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you can also keep track of what IPs are available, what are in use and what websites they're allotted to. In case you would like to use an SSL certificate to secure the information of your website visitors and you acquire it through our company, our system can assign a dedicated IP and install the SSL for you, so you will not be required to anything manually on your end. Meanwhile, you can still have a site in a subdomain as an addition to the main one under a shared IP address - a discussion board where users can share thoughts and opinions about your services, for instance.
