SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encrypts the info which clients submit on an Internet site. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they acquire services and products online and they input their credit card information, the data shall be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, so an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the safety of your site and will make it more inviting to consumers, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you need to spend more funds for a dedicated IP address, that's normally required for the SSL installation. In case you run a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is tight or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you can find far better use for the money, you could avoid the added expense by making use of our services since our cloud website hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Hosting

Given that we offer SSL certificates with our shared hosting packages, you can quickly secure your site and use a shared IP address with only a couple of mouse clicks. The option will be available during the order process, therefore if you have a dedicated IP, you could 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 set up especially for SSLs. The certificate will work in the very same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the only difference shall be that if somebody tries to open the IP address as a URL, they will not see your Internet site. Due to the fact that our system includes an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be installed automatically as soon as it's issued, so you will not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you can have a protected and reliable site without having to spend more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The shared IP address option is available with all semi-dedicated hosting services and the setup takes just 2 mouse clicks in the hosting CP no matter if you get an SSL from our enterprise or from a third-party provider. There won't be any difference in terms of how the certificate works or encrypts the info that your website visitors submit, so your Internet site shall be secure without having to spend any additional cash for a dedicated IP. The only thing which will be different is that https://the-shared-IP shall not open your site, unlike https://the-dedicated-IP, but it's highly unlikely that anybody shall ever try to access your internet site in this way rather than typing your domain. We also offer an auto-configuration option for the SSLs bought through our company and if you select it and you opt to use a shared IP instead of a dedicated one, our system will set everything up as soon as the SSL is approved and issued without the need for any action on your end.
