SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encrypts the information which customers submit on a website. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they acquire services and goods online and they type in their credit card details, the data shall be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, consequently an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the protection of your Internet site and will make it more inviting to consumers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you must spend more money for a dedicated IP address, which is typically required for the SSL installation. In case you run a small e-commerce portal and your budget is restricted or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you can find better use for the funds, you can avoid the extra expense by taking advantage of our services due to the fact 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 Cloud Web Hosting

A shared IP could be used for any SSL certificate, irrespective if you get it from us or from some other seller and regardless of the cloud web hosting service that you have on our end. If you get the SSL through us, you'll discover this option on the certificate order page in your hosting CP where you could also make use of the 1-click automatic configuration option which we offer. If the latter is chosen in the SSL order wizard, our system shall install and set up everything for you through the specifically configured server shared IP address, so once you order and approve the SSL, there won't be anything else to do on your end. You could save the money that you will otherwise have to pay for a dedicated IP and the SSL shall do the job in the exact same way, so any information that the site visitors submit shall be encoded. The sole difference is that if you enter the shared IP instead of your domain inside a web browser, the website won't display.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host an Internet site inside a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you would like to preserve the data of your visitors, you shall be able to use a shared IP address which has been configured for SSL certificates with a couple of mouse clicks. You can choose this option inside the SSL order wizard which you shall find within the Hepsia hosting CP and you could even pick the certificate to be installed for the specific domain or subdomain automatically by our system. In this way everything can be set up for you on the shared IP as soon as you approve the SSL. With this service we give you the chance to preserve the information of your Internet site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encode the data in any way. The only difference from using a dedicated address is that your site will not be accessible if you type the shared IP instead of the domain/subdomain in the Internet browser address bar.
