If you host a site on a server, it makes use of the server's shared IP address - a unique number that is used to identify any device connected to the World Wide Web. The website name that you use for the site is for quick access and convenience of the website visitors, but on a lower level, their browser connects to the IP of the server. Since there are far more websites than IPs, shared hosting servers use the same IP for many different sites even in case they are owned by different users. Even though this doesn't affect your website performance directly, using a dedicated IP can slightly increase the loading speed of a website, giving it higher rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is essential for the setup of an SSL certificate too, so if you would like to protect the payment or login data that your website visitors enter, you need an IP in addition to the SSL.

Our Hepsia Control Panel is very simple and intuitive to use, so even if you have not had a hosting account before, you will not have any difficulties to obtain and assign a dedicated IP address.

If you wish to have an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order instrument through which you can select everything to be set up automatically. When you use this feature, our system will change the IP of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it'll set up your certificate in a matter of minutes, so you will not have to do anything on your end other than authorizing your SSL order via electronic mail.
