If you'd like to protect the info which visitors submit on your website, you 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 ensure that even if an unauthorized person intercepts any data, they'll not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it practically impossible to decrypt the real content, therefore if you have a login form of some sort or you offer products and services online and clients submit credit card info, using an SSL certificate shall be a guarantee that the information is secure. Typically a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your Internet site. The additional expense may matter in case you run a small online store, a non-profit organization or any other entity which does not make a big profit, so to save you the money, our cloud website hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Web Hosting

You'll be able to use a shared IP address for an SSL certificate with every single web hosting package that we offer and regardless if the SSL is bought through us or through a third-party business. If the SSL is acquired on our end, not only will you be able to choose the shared IP to be set during the order, but you may also pick our auto-configuration option, so when you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system shall set it up for you within a matter of seconds and you won't need to do anything by hand. The only difference between employing a shared IP and a dedicated one is that your Internet site will not appear in case you try to open https://the-IP-address rather than https://your-domain-name, but other than that, everything will be the same. With this feature you'll be able to protect the information of your customers and have a reliable site without the additional expense for a dedicated IP.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to use a shared IP address for an SSL acquired through us or through any other dealer with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated packages. The setup is incredibly simple and if you get the certificate from our company, you can also benefit from our SSL wizard where with only a few clicks you can choose the SSL to be installed automatically for the selected domain name or subdomain on the shared IP which is configured to be used for this purpose. This option will save you time and work since you won't need to do anything after you approve the SSL through email, not mentioning the cash you will save for the IP address on a monthly basis. Your Internet site shall be secure and any customer will feel confident that their information will be protected since using a shared IP address doesn't affect the adequate performance 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.
