SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that enciphers the data that customers submit on an Internet site. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they acquire services and goods online and they type in their credit card details, the data will be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, hence an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the protection of your website and shall make it more attractive to customers, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you must spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, that is normally needed for the SSL installation. In case you run a small e-commerce portal and your budget is restricted or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you can find far better use for the funds, you could avoid the additional expense by taking advantage of our services given that our cloud web hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Website Hosting

Due to the fact that we offer SSL certificates with our website hosting packages, you can quickly secure your site and use a shared IP address with just a few mouse clicks. The option shall be available during the order procedure, therefore if you have a dedicated IP address, you'll be able to use it, but if you do not have one and you do not want to pay for such a service, you'll be able to use the shared IP, that has been configured particularly for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the exact same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the sole difference will be that if somebody attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they will not see your Internet site. Due to the fact that our system has an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be installed automatically once it's issued, so you shall not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. In this way, you'll be able to have a protected and reliable Internet site without having to spend extra money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The shared IP address option is available with all Linux semi-dedicated services and the setup takes only a couple of clicks within the hosting CP regardless if you obtain an SSL from our business or from a third-party provider. There shall not be any difference with regards to how the certificate functions or encodes the info your site visitors submit, so your site will be secure without spending the additional money for a dedicated IP address. The only thing that'll be different is that https://the-shared-IP will not open your Internet site, unlike https://the-dedicated-IP, but it's quite unlikely that anyone shall ever try to access your site in this way instead of keying in your domain. In addition, we offer an auto-configuration option for the SSLs acquired through our company and if you select it and you choose to use a shared IP instead of a dedicated one, our system will set everything up the moment the SSL is approved and issued without any action on your end.
