SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encodes the information that clients submit on an Internet site. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they acquire services and products online and they type in their credit card info, the data will be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, so an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the safety of your site and will make it more appealing to consumers, but besides the cost for the SSL, you have to spend extra money for a dedicated IP address, that's normally needed for the SSL installation. If you run a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is tight or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you could find better use for the money, you can avoid the added expense by making use of our services as our cloud website hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Hosting

Considering that we offer SSL certificates with our shared hosting packages, you can easily secure your Internet site and use a shared IP address with only several 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 don't have one and you do not want to pay for this sort of a service, you'll be able to use the shared IP, that has been configured especially for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the very same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the sole difference shall be that if anyone attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they will not see your site. Since our system includes an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be installed automatically the moment it's issued, so you shall not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you'll be able to have a protected and reliable Internet site without having to spend more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Any SSL certificate can be employed with our specially set up shared IPs, thus if you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you'll be able to use this option with merely a couple of clicks when you install a certificate you obtain through us or through another retailer. For the SSLs which we offer you are also able to take advantage of an extra function and have our system set everything up for you. That way the minute you approve the SSL, the shared IP address shall be set for the given domain name or subdomain and the certificate will be installed without any action required on your end, so any info that website visitors submit on your Internet site will be protected. The SSL shall do the job in the exact same way regardless if it's set on a shared or a dedicated IP address and the one thing which is different between the two setups is that entering the shared IP address as a URL inside a web browser won't open your website.
