If you want to protect the information which visitors submit on your website, you need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation is short for Secure Sockets Layer and that is a protocol used to encode any data exchanged between an Internet site and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any data, they'll not be able to read or use it in any way. The existing level of encryption makes it virtually impossible to decrypt the real content, therefore if you have a login form of some type or you offer products and services online and customers submit credit card information, using an SSL certificate shall be a guarantee that the info is secure. Usually a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your Internet site. The additional cost may matter in case you manage a small web shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity that does not generate a big revenue, so to save you the cash, our cloud hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Website Hosting

You'll be able to use this option with all our website hosting packages and with any SSL certificate issued from any vendor. When you decide to work with an SSL from our company, everything can be set up automatically and you will not need to do anything after you buy and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will enable you to pick a shared IP address to be used and the SSL to be installed by our system, so using this function requires no more than two additional mouse clicks after you fill the needed details for the certificate. The adequate operation of the SSL will not be affected in any way and any information which visitors submit on your website will be encrypted and protected in the very same way. The only big difference from using a dedicated address is that http:// shall not open your site, but it is unlikely that anyone will ever attempt to access it in this way as opposed to entering your domain in the browser URL bar.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

You'll be able to use a shared IP address for an SSL purchased through us or through any other dealer with any of our semi-dedicated servers. The setup is incredibly basic and if you get the certificate from our company, you can also benefit from our SSL wizard where with merely a few mouse clicks you'll be able to pick the SSL to be installed automatically for the particular domain or subdomain on the shared IP that's configured to be used for this particular purpose. This option shall save you time and work given that you won't have to do anything after you approve the SSL through email, not mentioning the cash you'll save for the IP on a monthly basis. Your site shall be protected and any customer will feel confident that their information will be protected as using a shared IP address does not affect the proper performance of the certificate and the only difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP cannot be used as a URL to access your site.
