SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encrypts the data which users submit on a website. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they purchase services and goods online and they type in their credit card info, the data will be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, so an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the safety of your website and will make it more attractive to customers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you must spend extra money for a dedicated IP address, that's normally required for the SSL installation. If you have a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is restricted or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you could find much better use for the capital, you can avoid the extra expense by taking advantage of our services given that our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Website Hosting

You will be able to use this option with all of our website hosting plans and with any SSL certificate issued from any dealer. When you prefer to work with an SSL from our company, everything will be set up automatically and you'll not have to do anything after you purchase and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will allow you to pick a shared IP to be used and the SSL to be set up by our system, so using this function requires only two additional mouse clicks after you fill the required data for the certificate. The proper functioning of the SSL will not be affected in any way and any details that site visitors submit on your website will be encrypted and protected in the exact same way. The one big difference from using a dedicated address is that http:// shall not open your Internet site, but it is unlikely that anybody will ever try to access it that way instead of entering your domain in the browser URL bar.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

The shared IP option is available with all Linux semi-dedicated servers and the setup takes only a couple of clicks within the hosting Control Panel no matter if you get an SSL via our company or from a third-party vendor. There will not be any difference with regards to how the certificate functions or encrypts the info which your visitors submit, so your Internet site shall be secure without spending the extra cash for a dedicated IP address. The sole thing that'll be different is that https://the-shared-IP won't open your website, unlike https://the-dedicated-IP, but it's highly unlikely that anybody shall ever try to access your site in this way as opposed to typing your domain. We also offer an auto-configuration option for the SSLs bought through our company and if you select it and you decide to use a shared IP address rather than a dedicated one, our system shall set everything up as soon as the SSL is approved and issued with no need for any action on your end.
