SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that enciphers the data which customers submit on an Internet site. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they purchase products and services online and they type in their credit card info, the data will be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, therefore an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the safety of your Internet site and will make it more attractive to customers, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you have to spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, that is typically required for the SSL installation. If you have a small e-commerce portal and your budget is restricted or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find far better use for the money, you'll be able to avoid the added expense by taking advantage of our services due to the fact that 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 Cloud Hosting

Since we offer SSL certificates with our cloud hosting solutions, you can quickly secure your Internet site and use a shared IP address with just a couple of mouse clicks. The option shall be available during the order procedure, so if you have a dedicated IP address, 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, that has been set up specifically 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 someone attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they will not see your website. Given that our system has an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be installed automatically the moment it is issued, so you shall not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you'll be able to have a protected and reliable website without spending more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Any SSL certificate can be used with our specifically set up shared IPs, thus if you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you'll be able to use this option with only a couple of mouse clicks when you install a certificate you obtain through us or through any other dealer. For the SSLs which we offer you are also able to take advantage of an extra function and have our system set everything up for you. That way the moment you approve the SSL, the shared IP address will be set for the particular domain name or subdomain and the certificate shall be installed with no action needed on your end, and so any data that website visitors submit on your site shall be secure. The SSL shall do the job in the same exact way irrespective if it is set on a shared or a dedicated IP and the 1 thing that is different between the two setups is that typing the shared IP as a URL in an Internet browser shall not open your Internet site.
