SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which enciphers the data which customers submit on an Internet site. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they purchase services and goods online and they type in their credit card details, the data shall be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, so an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the safety of your Internet site and will make it more attractive to consumers, but besides the cost for the SSL, you must spend more money for a dedicated IP address, which is typically required for the SSL installation. If you run a small e-commerce portal and your budget is tight or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you can find better use for the money, you could avoid the additional expense by making use of our services due to the fact that our cloud web hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Hosting

Since we offer SSL certificates with our hosting plans, you can quickly secure your website and use a shared IP address with just a couple of mouse clicks. The option will be available during the order procedure, hence if you have a dedicated IP address, you can use it, but if you do not have one and you do not want to pay for this type of a service, you could use the shared IP, that has been set up particularly for SSLs. The certificate will work in the same exact 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 will not see your website. Due to the fact that our system includes an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be installed automatically as soon as it is issued, so you shall not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you could have a secure and reliable website without spending extra money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The shared IP option is available with all Linux semi-dedicated hosting and the setup takes just two mouse clicks within the hosting Control Panel irrespective if you purchase an SSL via our company or from a third-party vendor. There shall not be any difference with regards to how the certificate functions or encodes the info your visitors submit, so your site shall be secure without having to spend any additional cash for a dedicated IP. The only thing that'll be different is that https://the-shared-IP won't open your Internet site, unlike https://the-dedicated-IP, but it's quite unlikely that anyone will ever try to access your internet site in this way as opposed to inputting your domain name. Additionally we offer an auto-configuration option for the SSLs ordered via our company and if you select it and you decide to use a shared IP address rather than a dedicated one, our system will set everything up the instant the SSL is approved and issued without any action on your end.
