SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encodes the information that clients submit on an Internet site. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they purchase services and products online and they input their credit card info, the data will be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, therefore an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the security of your site and shall make it more attractive to clients, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you must spend more funds for a dedicated IP address, which is usually needed for the SSL installation. In case you manage a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is limited or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you can find far better use for the capital, you could avoid the additional expense by taking advantage 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 Website Hosting

Given that we offer SSL certificates with our website hosting packages, you can very easily secure your Internet site and use a shared IP address with only a couple of mouse clicks. The option shall be available during the order procedure, thus if you have a dedicated IP address, you'll be able to use it, but if you do not have one and you don't want to pay for this sort of a service, you can use the shared IP, which has been set up particularly for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the very same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the one difference will be that if someone attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your website. Since our system comes with an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be installed automatically once it's issued, so you will not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. This way, you'll be able to have a secure and trustworthy website without spending extra money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You could use a shared IP for an SSL purchased through us or through any other supplier with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting. The setup is extremely basic and if you acquire the certificate from our company, you can also take full advantage of our SSL wizard where with simply a couple of clicks you could pick the SSL to be installed automatically for the selected domain name or subdomain on the shared IP which is configured to be employed for this particular purpose. This option will save you time and work given that you won't need to do anything after you approve the SSL via email, not mentioning the funds you will save for the IP on a monthly basis. Your Internet site will be secure and any client will feel confident that their information will be protected given that using a shared IP address does not influence the adequate performance of the certificate and the only real difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP address cannot be used as a URL to access your website.
