If you host a website on a server, it uses the server's shared IP address - a special number which is used to detect any device connected to the Internet. The website name which you use for the site is for easy accessibility and convenience of the site visitors, but on a lower level, their browser connects to the IP of the server. Due to the fact that there're a lot more sites than IPs, shared website hosting servers use a single IP for several websites even if they belong to different users. While this does not affect the site performance directly, using a dedicated IP can slightly improve the loading speed of a site, providing it higher positions in search engine results. Such an IP is needed for the installation of an SSL certificate as well, so if you want to protect the payment or login information that your site visitors type in, you should have an IP in addition to the SSL.

Using a website hosting account on our cloud platform, you'll be able to obtain a dedicated IP address and assign it to any domain or subdomain with several clicks wherever your account is - in the USA, the UK or Australia. This can be done from the Hosted Domains area of the 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. If you wish to use an SSL certificate in order to secure the info of your site visitors and you get it through us, our system will assign a dedicated IP and set up the SSL for you, so you will not be required to anything manually on your end. In the meantime, you may still have a site in a subdomain as an addition to the main one under a shared IP - a discussion board where users can share opinions about your services, for instance.

Provided you wish to acquire a new IP for an SSL certificate, you'll be able to use the auto-configuration function, that's available in our SSL order wizard. If you activate this option, you will not need to do anything after you submit your order since our system will request a dedicated IP, assign it to the domain or subdomain in question, and then set up the SSL certificate - all this automatically and without any action on your end. This way, you're able to shield the data that visitors post on your site even when you lack previous experience with such matters.
