SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encodes the info which customers submit on a website. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they buy products and services online and they enter their credit card information, the data will be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, consequently an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the safety of your Internet site and will make it more appealing to consumers, but besides the cost for the SSL, you have to spend more money for a dedicated IP address, that's usually required for the SSL installation. If you manage a small e-commerce portal and your budget is limited or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you could find far better use for the capital, you'll be able to avoid the added expense by taking advantage 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 Cloud Website Hosting

As we offer SSL certificates with our cloud website hosting solutions, you can quickly secure your website and use a shared IP address with only a couple of clicks. The option will be available during the order process, so if you have a dedicated IP address, you could use it, but if you do not have one and you don't want to pay for this sort of a service, you could use the shared IP, that has been set up especially for SSLs. The certificate will work in the exact same way as if it had a dedicated IP address and the only difference shall be that if anyone attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your Internet site. Given that our system has an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be set up automatically the instant it is issued, so you will not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. This way, you can have a secure and reliable website without spending more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Any SSL certificate can be used with our specially set up shared IPs, therefore if you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you could use this option with just several mouse clicks when you install a certificate which you purchase through us or through some other dealer. For the SSLs which we offer you are also able to take advantage of an additional function and have our system set everything up for you. In this way the instant you approve the SSL, the shared IP address shall be set for the particular domain or subdomain and the certificate shall be installed with no action needed on your end, and thus any info that site visitors submit on your website will be secure. The SSL shall function in the same exact way no matter if it's set on a shared or a dedicated IP address and the one thing that is different between the two setups is that typing the shared IP as a URL in a web browser shall not open your site.
