SSL, which is an acronym 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 services and products online and they input their credit card information, the data shall be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, hence an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the security of your site and shall make it more attractive to clients, but besides the cost for the SSL, you need to spend more money for a dedicated IP address, which is normally needed for the SSL installation. In case you have a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is restricted or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you can find better use for the capital, you could avoid the additional expense by making use of our services as 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 Web Hosting

Due to the fact that we offer SSL certificates with our web hosting packages, you can very easily secure your site and use a shared IP address with just several clicks. The option shall be available during the order procedure, hence if you have a dedicated IP address, you'll be able to use it, but if you do not have one and you do not want to pay for such a service, you can use the shared IP, which 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 anyone attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your site. Due to the fact that our system includes an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be set up automatically the instant it is issued, so you'll not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you'll be able to have a protected and trustworthy website without spending more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

The shared IP address option is available with all semi-dedicated servers and the setup takes only two clicks inside the hosting CP irrespective if you get an SSL via our enterprise or via a third-party provider. There won't be any difference with regards to how the certificate functions or encodes the data your visitors submit, so your site will be secure without having to spend the extra funds for a dedicated IP. The sole thing that will be different is that https://the-shared-IP will not open your site, unlike https://the-dedicated-IP, but it's extremely unlikely that anybody shall ever try to access your website in this way rather than typing your domain. In addition, we offer an auto-configuration option for the SSLs bought via our company and if you select it and you choose to use a shared IP address rather than 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.
