SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encrypts the information which clients submit on an Internet site. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they purchase goods and services online and they input their credit card details, the data will be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, which means that an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the protection of your Internet site and will make it more attractive to clients, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you need to spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, that is usually required for the SSL installation. In case you manage a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is limited or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you could find better use for the money, you can avoid the additional expense by taking advantage of our services since 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

As we offer SSL certificates with our website hosting solutions, you can effortlessly secure your Internet site and use a shared IP address with just a couple of clicks. The option shall be available during the order procedure, so 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 such a service, you'll be able to use the shared IP, that has been set up specifically for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the same exact way as if it had a dedicated IP and the one difference shall be that if someone tries to open the IP address as a URL, they'll not see your website. Due to the fact that our system includes an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be set up automatically the instant it is issued, so you will not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you could have a secure and reliable website without spending extra money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can use a shared IP address for an SSL purchased through us or through any other vendor with any one of our semi-dedicated servers. The setup is very basic and if you obtain the certificate from our company, you can also benefit from our SSL wizard where with simply a few mouse clicks you can select the SSL to be installed automatically for the particular domain or subdomain on the shared IP which is configured to be employed for this 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 cash you shall save for the IP on a monthly basis. Your site will be secured and any customer will feel confident that their data will be protected since using a shared IP address does not influence the proper functioning of the certificate and the only real difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP cannot be used as a URL to access your Internet site.
