SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encodes the info which users submit on a website. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they buy services and products online and they type in their credit card details, the data shall be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, therefore an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the protection of your Internet site and will make it more appealing to consumers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you have to spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, that's usually needed for the SSL installation. In case you run a small e-commerce portal and your budget is limited or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you could find much better use for the funds, you'll be able to avoid the extra expense by making use of our services due to the fact that 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 Hosting

You'll be able to use a shared IP for an SSL certificate with every hosting solution we offer and no matter if the SSL is bought through us or through a third-party vendor. If the SSL is purchased on our end, not only can you select the shared IP to be set during the order, but you could also select our auto-configuration option, so once you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system shall do the installation for you within a few seconds and you will not have to do anything manually. The only difference between using a shared IP address and a dedicated one is that your site will not appear in the event that you try to open https://the-IP-address rather than https://your-domain-name, but besides that, everything will be the same. With this function you'll be able to protect the information of your clients and have a reliable Internet site without the additional expense for a dedicated IP address.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

The shared IP address option is available with all semi-dedicated hosting plans and the setup takes just 2 clicks inside the hosting Control Panel no matter if you obtain an SSL via our business or through a third-party supplier. There won't be any difference in terms of how the certificate works or encodes the info your visitors submit, so your website shall be protected without spending any additional money for a dedicated IP. The sole thing which will be different is that https://the-shared-IP shall not open your Internet site, unlike https://the-dedicated-IP, but it's unlikely that anybody will ever try to access your site in this way instead of typing your domain name. Additionally we offer an auto-configuration option for the SSLs acquired via our company and if you select it and you decide to use a shared IP rather than a dedicated one, our system shall set everything up as soon as the SSL is approved and issued without any action on your end.
