SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encrypts the information which clients submit on an Internet site. If they type in 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 shall be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, thus an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the safety of your Internet site and shall make it more appealing to customers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you have to spend more funds for a dedicated IP address, that's normally required for the SSL installation. In case you have 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 funds, you'll be able to avoid the extra expense by taking advantage of our services given that our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Hosting

You could use a shared IP address for an SSL certificate with each shared hosting plan that we offer and regardless if the SSL is acquired through us or through a third-party company. If the SSL is purchased on our end, not only will you be able to select the shared IP to be set during the order, but you could also select our auto-configuration option, so once you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system will handle the installation for you within a couple of seconds and you won't have to do anything personally. The sole difference between using a shared IP and a dedicated one is that your site will not appear in the event that you try to open https://the-IP-address as opposed to https://your-domain-name, but other than that, everything shall be exactly the same. With this feature you can protect the info of your clients and have a secure website without the added expense for a dedicated IP address.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The shared IP option is available with all semi-dedicated hosting packages and the setup takes merely two mouse clicks within the hosting Control Panel no matter if you get an SSL through our company or via a third-party provider. There will not be any difference with regards to how the certificate functions or encrypts the info that your site visitors submit, so your website will be protected without having to spend the extra funds for a dedicated IP address. The only thing that'll be different is that https://the-shared-IP will not open your site, unlike https://the-dedicated-IP, but it's highly unlikely that anybody shall ever try to access your website in this way rather than keying in your domain name. We also offer an auto-configuration option for the SSLs obtained via our company and if you select it and you decide to use a shared IP address instead of a dedicated one, our system shall set everything up as soon as the SSL is approved and issued with no need for any action on your end.
