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

Shared SSL IP in Shared Website Hosting

As we offer SSL certificates with our shared website hosting packages, you can easily secure your 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, you can use it, but if you don't have one and you do not want to pay for this sort 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 and the only difference shall be that if someone attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they'll not see your Internet site. Since our system includes an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be set up automatically the instant it is issued, so you will not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you could have a secure and reliable site without having to spend more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You could use a shared IP for an SSL acquired through us or through any other supplier with any of our Linux semi-dedicated packages. The setup is incredibly basic and if you get the certificate from our company, you could also benefit from our SSL wizard where with just several clicks you could choose the SSL to be installed automatically for the selected domain name or subdomain on the shared IP that is configured to be used for this purpose. This option shall save you time and efforts given that you'll not have to do anything after you approve the SSL via e-mail, not mentioning the funds you'll save for the IP on a monthly basis. Your site will be secure and any customer will feel certain that their data shall be protected as using a shared IP address does not affect the adequate functioning of the certificate and the sole difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP cannot be used as a URL to access your website.
