SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that enciphers the data which users submit on an Internet site. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they buy services and goods online and they enter their credit card information, the data shall be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, therefore an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the security of your site and will make it more attractive to clients, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you have to spend more money for a dedicated IP address, which is normally required for the SSL installation. In case you have a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is limited or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find better use for the capital, you can avoid the additional expense by making use of our services due to the fact that our cloud 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 easily secure your website and use a shared IP address with only several mouse clicks. The option shall be available during the order procedure, so if you have a dedicated IP address, you can use it, but if you do not have one and you do not want to pay for this sort of a service, you can use the shared IP, which has been configured especially for SSLs. The certificate will work in the very same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the one difference shall be that if anyone tries to open the IP address as a URL, they'll not see your Internet site. Due to the fact that our system comes with an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be set up automatically the moment it's issued, so you shall not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. This way, you can have a risk-free and trustworthy site without spending more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Any SSL certificate can be employed with our specially configured shared IPs, therefore if you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you can use this option with just a few mouse clicks when you install a certificate that you obtain through us or through another vendor. For the SSLs that we offer you are also able to take advantage of an extra function and have our system set everything up for you. That way once you approve the SSL, the shared IP will be set for the given domain or subdomain and the certificate shall be installed with no action required on your end, and thus any information that visitors submit on your Internet site shall be secure. The SSL will function in the same exact way no matter if it is set on a shared or a dedicated IP address and the 1 thing which is different between the two setups is that entering the shared IP as a URL within a browser will not open your Internet site.
