If you'd like to protect the data which visitors submit on your website, you'll need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation stands for Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol employed to encode any information exchanged between an Internet site and its users as to guarantee that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any info, they'll not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it literally impossible to decrypt the actual content, and so if you have a login form of some kind or you offer products and services online and customers submit credit card information, using an SSL certificate shall be an assurance that the information is secure. Usually a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your site. The additional cost may matter if you manage a small web store, a non-profit organization or any other entity which doesn't generate a big revenue, so to save you the funds, our cloud hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Hosting

Considering that we offer SSL certificates with our hosting plans, you can quickly secure your Internet site and use a shared IP address with just a couple of clicks. The option will be available during the order process, hence 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 type of a service, you can use the shared IP, that has been configured specifically for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the very same way as if it had a dedicated IP address and the sole difference will be that if somebody attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they will not see your website. Due to the fact that our system features an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be set up automatically once it is issued, so you will not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. In this way, you could have a protected and reliable site without spending more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can use a shared IP for an SSL obtained through us or through any other vendor with any one of our semi-dedicated services. The setup is incredibly easy and if you acquire the certificate from our company, you can also take advantage of our SSL wizard where with simply a couple of mouse clicks you could choose the SSL to be installed automatically for the particular domain or subdomain on the shared IP that is configured to be employed for this specific purpose. This option will save you time and work since you will not have to do anything after you approve the SSL through e mail, not mentioning the money you shall save for the IP address on a monthly basis. Your Internet site will be protected and any client will feel certain that their data shall be protected considering that using a shared IP address doesn't affect the proper performance of the certificate and the sole difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP address cannot be used as a URL to access your site.
