If you want to protect the information which visitors submit on your website, you will require an SSL certificate. The abbreviation refers to Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol used to encrypt any info exchanged between a website and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any data, they shall not be able to read or use it in any way. The current level of encryption makes it pretty much impossible to decrypt the real content, so if you have a login form of some sort or you offer services and products online and clients submit credit card information, using an SSL certificate shall be an assurance that the information is protected. Typically a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your website. The additional cost may matter when you manage a small online shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity which does not generate a big income, so to save you the money, our cloud website hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Cloud Web Hosting

Given that we offer SSL certificates with our cloud web hosting plans, you can quickly secure your website and use a shared IP address with only a few mouse clicks. The option shall be available during the order process, therefore if you have a dedicated IP address, you'll be able to use it, but if you do not have one and you do not want to pay for this sort of a service, you could use the shared IP, that has been set up specifically for SSLs. The certificate will work in the very same way as if it had a dedicated IP address and the sole difference shall be that if somebody attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they will not see your website. Due to the fact that our system includes an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be set up automatically once it's issued, so you shall not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. In this way, you could have a risk-free and trustworthy site without having to spend more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can use a shared IP address for an SSL acquired through us or through any other retailer with any of our semi-dedicated packages. The setup is quite basic and if you obtain the certificate from our company, you can also benefit from our SSL wizard where with simply several mouse clicks you can choose the SSL to be installed automatically for the selected domain name or subdomain on the shared IP that's configured to be used for this specific purpose. This option shall save you time and efforts given that you will not have to do anything after you approve the SSL through email, not mentioning the money you will save for the IP address on a monthly basis. Your Internet site will be secured and any customer will feel confident that their information will be protected considering that using a shared IP address doesn't affect the proper operation of the certificate and the only difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP address can't be used as a URL to access your Internet site.
