SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encodes the information which customers submit on a website. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they purchase products and services online and they enter their credit card details, the data will be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, hence an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the protection of your Internet site and will make it more inviting to customers, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you must spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, that's normally needed for the SSL installation. In case you run a small e-commerce portal and your budget is tight or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find much better use for the money, you could avoid the added expense by making use of our services given 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 Web Hosting

A shared IP could be employed for any SSL certificate, regardless if you buy it from our company or from a different retailer and regardless of the cloud web hosting service that you have on our end. If you obtain the SSL from us, you will find this option on the certificate order page in your hosting Control Panel where you can also make use of the 1-click automatic configuration option that we offer. If the latter is selected in the SSL order wizard, our system will install and set up everything for you using the specifically configured server shared IP, thus once you buy and approve the SSL, there shall not be anything else to do on your end. You can save the money you will otherwise have to pay for a dedicated IP and the SSL shall function in the exact same way, so any data the website visitors submit shall be encoded. The one difference is that if you input the shared IP instead of your domain inside a web browser, the website won't appear.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host an Internet site inside a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you would like to preserve the info of your website visitors, you shall be able to use a shared IP which has been configured for SSL certificates with only several clicks. You can select this option in the SSL order wizard which you will find inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you could even pick the certificate to be installed for the particular domain or subdomain automatically by our system. This way everything could be installed for you on the shared IP the minute you approve the SSL. With this service we give you the opportunity to preserve the data of your website users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encode the data in any way. The only main difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site won't be accessible if you enter the shared IP as opposed to the domain/subdomain inside the web browser address bar.
