All devices on the World Wide Web are identified by a special number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. In case you have a website, the domain name that you enter to be able to open it is for your convenience, but the server where your site files are still has an IP. Due to the fact that there are a lot more sites and devices than there are IPs, all of the shared web hosting servers have a number of sites under the very same IP, while when you use a dedicated server you will have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you'll be able to acquire a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you'll get far better search engine positions because a dedicated IP usually means a quicker loading site. In addition, you need such an IP in case you intend to purchase an SSL certificate for your site and secure the information that your visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting
In case you host your sites on our outstanding cloud platform and you have a shared hosting package, you can add a dedicated IP to your account at any moment and assign it to any domain or subdomain with only a couple of clicks. This option is available in all of the data centers where we supply services - Chicago (US), Coventry (UK) and Sydney (AU), so regardless of your choice throughout the registration process, you will be able to acquire a dedicated IP for your websites. You will be able to add or remove an IPas well as to keep track of the free and used ones at any time. If any of the IPs that you acquire will be used for an SSL certificate, you may activate the automatic configuration feature in our SSL order wizard and then our system will request and assign the IP before it installs your certificate automatically. Our versatile platform will enable you to use a dedicated IP for a variety of sites as well if it's not in use by an SSL.
