Dedicated IP Address
What precisely is a dedicated IP? Why would you need one for your website?
A dedicated IP address is an exclusive numeric identifier on the world wide web that's allotted to a device or a site. Shared website hosting servers usually have plenty of sites under the very same IP, while dedicated ones use their own IPs that are not shared with others. Even when you use a common shared account, however, you'll be able to purchase a dedicated IP address that will be in use only by your sites - one or a few. As this can contribute to the speed of thewebsite, it is much more likely that the website will get greater search engine result positions. Of course, this is not the sole factor, but it can help you get more visitors and potential customers. The dedicated IP is also required when you would like to encode the info exchanged between the site and its visitors by using an SSL certificate.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting
If you use any of our
shared hosting packages, you'll be able to add a dedicated IP to your account with ease and assign it to a domain or subdomain with just a couple of clicks. This is valid whichever data center you have chosen for your account during the sign-up process, thus it's possible to use this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. In this way, you can have a dedicated IP for an electronic commerce website, for instance, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP as you can edit each domain or subdomain individually through the Hosted Domains part of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you would like a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you obtain the SSL through our company, you'll be able to use the auto-configuration tool, which will assign an IP and set up the SSL automatically for the website where you wish to use them.
