SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encodes the information that clients submit on a website. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they acquire goods and services online and they type in their credit card details, the data will be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, therefore an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the safety of your site and shall make it more inviting to consumers, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you must spend more funds for a dedicated IP address, that is typically required for the SSL installation. In case 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 far better use for the capital, you'll be able to avoid the extra expense by taking advantage of our services since our cloud website hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Web Hosting

As we offer SSL certificates with our shared web hosting plans, you can effortlessly secure your site and use a shared IP address with only a couple of clicks. The option will be available during the order procedure, hence if you have a dedicated IP address, you'll be able to use it, but if you do not have one and you do not want to pay for this kind of a service, you could use the shared IP, which has been configured specifically for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the exact same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the only difference will be that if someone tries to open the IP address as a URL, they'll not see your Internet site. Due to the fact that our system has an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be set up automatically as soon as it's issued, so you shall not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. In this way, you could have a risk-free and trustworthy site without spending extra money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

The shared IP address option is available with all Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans and the setup takes just two mouse clicks within the hosting CP no matter if you order an SSL from our business or via a third-party supplier. There won't be any difference in terms of how the certificate functions or encodes the data that your site visitors submit, so your website will be secure without having to spend any additional funds for a dedicated IP. The sole thing which will be different is that https://the-shared-IP shall not open your Internet site, unlike https://the-dedicated-IP, but it's quite unlikely that anybody shall ever try to access your site in this way instead of typing your domain name. Additionally we offer an auto-configuration option for the SSLs purchased through our company and if you select it and you decide to use a shared IP instead of a dedicated one, our system shall set everything up the moment the SSL is approved and issued with no need for any action on your end.
