SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encrypts the data that customers submit on an Internet site. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they buy products and services online and they input their credit card details, the data will be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, therefore an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the security of your site and shall make it more appealing to customers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you need to spend extra money for a dedicated IP address, which is usually needed for the SSL installation. If you manage a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is restricted or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find far better use for the money, you can avoid the extra expense by taking advantage of our services since 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 Shared Hosting
As we offer SSL certificates with our shared hosting plans, you can quickly secure your Internet site and use a shared IP address with just several mouse clicks. The option shall be available during the order procedure, so if you have a dedicated IP, you could use it, but if you don't have one and you do not want to pay for this kind of a service, you'll be able to use the shared IP, which has been configured specifically for SSLs. The certificate will work in the exact same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the one difference shall be that if anyone tries to open the IP address as a URL, they will not see your website. Due to the fact that our system comes with an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be installed automatically as soon as it is issued, so you'll not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. This way, you could have a secure and trustworthy Internet site without having to spend more money for that.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can use a shared IP address for an SSL acquired through us or through any other vendor with any of our semi-dedicated hosting service. The setup is extremely basic and if you acquire the certificate from our company, you could also benefit from our SSL wizard where with simply several clicks you could pick the SSL to be installed automatically for the specific domain or subdomain on the shared IP address which is configured to be used for this particular purpose. This option shall save you time and work since you'll not need to do anything after you approve the SSL via email, not mentioning the funds you will save for the IP address on a monthly basis. Your site shall be protected and any client will feel certain that their data shall be protected considering that using a shared IP address doesn't affect the adequate functioning of the certificate and the only real difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP address cannot be used as a URL to access your site.
