SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that enciphers the information which customers submit on an Internet site. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they purchase goods and services online and they input their credit card information, the data shall be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, therefore an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the security of your site and will make it more attractive to customers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you have to spend more money for a dedicated IP address, that's typically required for the SSL installation. If you have a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is restricted or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you can find much better use for the funds, you could avoid the additional expense by taking advantage 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 Website Hosting

You can use a shared IP address for an SSL certificate with every cloud website hosting plan which we offer and no matter if the SSL is purchased through our company or through a third-party company. If the SSL is bought on our end, not only could you select the shared IP to be set during the order, but you may also pick our auto-configuration option, so once you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system shall do the installation for you within a matter of seconds and you will not have to do anything by hand. The sole difference between employing a shared IP address and a dedicated one is that your website won't appear in case you try to open https://the-IP-address rather than https://your-domain-name, but apart from that, everything will be the same. With this function you can protect the info of your customers and have a risk-free site without the additional expense for a dedicated IP address.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host a site within a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you wish to protect the data of your site visitors, you'll be able to use a shared IP which has been configured for SSL certificates with only a few clicks. You can pick this option within the SSL order wizard that you shall find inside the Hepsia hosting CP and you can even select the certificate to be set up for the given domain or subdomain automatically by our system. That way everything could be installed for you on the shared IP the minute you approve the SSL. With this service we offer you the chance to secure the information of your website users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL will encode the info in any way. The one main difference from using a dedicated address is that your site won't be accessible if you input the shared IP rather than the domain/subdomain within the Internet browser address bar.
