SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that enciphers the information that users submit on an Internet site. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they buy services and goods online and they input their credit card details, the data will be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, thus an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the safety of your site and will make it more inviting to consumers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you need to spend extra money for a dedicated IP address, that is typically required for the SSL installation. If you manage a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is small or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find better use for the money, you'll be able to avoid the extra expense by taking advantage of our services since our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Cloud Website Hosting

Given that we offer SSL certificates with our cloud website hosting packages, you can quickly secure your Internet site and use a shared IP address with only a couple of mouse clicks. The option shall be available during the order process, so if you have a dedicated IP address, you'll be able to use it, but if you don't have one and you don't want to pay for this sort of a service, you can use the shared IP, which has been configured particularly for SSLs. The certificate will work in the very same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the only difference will be that if somebody attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they will not see your Internet site. Given that our system has an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be installed automatically the moment it is issued, so you'll not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. This way, you can have a risk-free and reliable website without having to spend more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

You'll be able to use a shared IP address for an SSL purchased through us or through any other retailer with any of our semi-dedicated hosting plans. The setup is extremely basic and if you obtain the certificate from our company, you could also take advantage of our SSL wizard where with merely a couple of clicks you'll be able to select the SSL to be installed automatically for the specific domain name or subdomain on the shared IP address that is configured to be used for this particular purpose. This option shall save you time and efforts given that you'll not need to do anything after you approve the SSL via e mail, not mentioning the funds you will save for the IP address on a monthly basis. Your Internet site will be secured and any client will feel certain that their data will be protected as using a shared IP address doesn't influence the adequate functioning of the certificate and the sole difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP address can't be used as a URL to access your site.
