SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encrypts the info which clients submit on a website. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they buy services and products online and they input their credit card details, the data shall be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, consequently an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the safety of your Internet site and will make it more inviting to customers, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you have to spend extra money for a dedicated IP address, that is typically needed for the SSL installation. In case you manage a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is small or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you can find better use for the money, you'll be able to avoid the additional expense by taking advantage of our services given 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 Website Hosting

Since we offer SSL certificates with our website hosting packages, you can very easily secure your website and use a shared IP address with just a few mouse clicks. The option will be available during the order procedure, so if you have a dedicated IP, you could use it, but if you don't have one and you do not want to pay for this type of a service, you'll be able to 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 address and the one difference shall be that if somebody attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they'll not see your site. As our system comes with an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be installed automatically the instant it's issued, so you will not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you can have a protected and trustworthy website without spending extra cash for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The shared IP address option is available with all Linux semi-dedicated hosting and the setup takes just a couple of mouse clicks within the hosting Control Panel irrespective if you purchase an SSL from our company or via a third-party supplier. There will not be any difference with regards to how the certificate functions or encodes the data your website visitors submit, so your Internet site shall be protected without having to spend the additional money for a dedicated IP. The only thing which will be different is that https://the-shared-IP shall not open your site, unlike https://the-dedicated-IP, but it is quite unlikely that anybody will ever try to access your internet site in this way instead of keying in your domain. We also offer an auto-configuration option for the SSLs ordered through our company and if you select it and you opt to use a shared IP rather than a dedicated one, our system will set everything up the instant the SSL is approved and issued with no need for any action on your end.
