SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encodes the info that customers submit on an Internet site. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they buy services and goods online and they enter 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 heighten the security of your site and will make it more attractive to consumers, but besides the cost for the SSL, you must spend more funds for a dedicated IP address, that's typically needed for the SSL installation. In case you have a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is restricted or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you could find better use for the funds, you can avoid the added expense by taking advantage of our services given that 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

You can use a shared IP for an SSL certificate with every single shared web hosting package we offer and no matter if the SSL is acquired through us or through a third-party firm. If the SSL is purchased on our end, not only could you pick the shared IP to be set during the order, but you may also pick our auto-configuration option, so as soon as you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system shall install it for you within a couple of seconds and you'll not have to do anything personally. The sole difference between employing a shared IP and a dedicated one is that your Internet site will not appear in the event that you try to open https://the-IP-address rather than https://your-domain-name, but other than that, everything will be the same. With this feature you could protect the information of your customers and have a risk-free site without the added expense for a dedicated IP address.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The shared IP option is available with all Linux semi-dedicated services and the setup takes only two mouse clicks within the hosting Control Panel irrespective if you obtain an SSL through our company or through a third-party supplier. There won't be any difference with regards to how the certificate functions or encodes the info that your visitors submit, so your website shall be protected without spending the additional cash for a dedicated IP. The only thing which will be different is that https://the-shared-IP will not open your Internet site, unlike https://the-dedicated-IP, but it's highly unlikely that anyone will ever try to access your site in this way rather than inputting your domain. We also offer an auto-configuration option for the SSLs ordered via our company and if you select it and you choose to use a shared IP as opposed to a dedicated one, our system shall set everything up the moment the SSL is approved and issued without any action on your end.
