A dedicated IP address is a unique numeric identifier on the net which is allotted to a device or a website. Shared web hosting servers usually have plenty of sites under the same IP, while dedicated ones feature their own IPs which are not shared with others. Even if you use a regular shared account, however, you'll be able to acquire a dedicated IP address that will be used just by your websites - one or a few. Since this can add up to the speed of yoursite, it is much more likely that the site will get improved search engine result rankings. Certainly, this isn't the only factor, but it can help you have more visitors and prospective customers. The dedicated IP is also necessary when you intend to encrypt the info exchanged between the site and its visitors through an SSL certificate.

Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Hosting

When you use a cloud hosting account on our cloud platform, you will be able to buy a dedicated IP and assign it to any domain or subdomain with several clicks no matter where your account is - in the United States, Great Britain or Australia. This is done through the Hosted Domains part of our intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you may 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 in order to protect the information of your visitors and you acquire it from us, our system will assign a dedicated IP and install the SSL for you, so you won't need to do anything manually on your end. Meanwhile, you can still have a website 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 example.
