SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encodes the data which clients submit on an Internet site. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they purchase services and products online and they input their credit card information, the data will be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, thus an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the protection of your Internet site and shall make it more appealing 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. If you manage 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'll be able to avoid the extra expense by making use of our services due to the fact 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 Hosting

Given that we offer SSL certificates with our hosting plans, you can effortlessly secure your website and use a shared IP address with just a few clicks. The option shall be available during the order procedure, thus if you have a dedicated IP address, you can use it, but if you don't have one and you do not want to pay for this kind of a service, you can use the shared IP, which has been configured particularly for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the same exact way as if it had a dedicated IP and the only difference will be that if somebody attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your site. Given that our system has an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be installed automatically as soon as it's issued, so you'll not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. In this way, you'll be able to have a risk-free and trustworthy website without spending extra money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

The shared IP option is available with all Linux semi-dedicated servers and the setup takes only 2 clicks in the hosting CP irrespective if you purchase an SSL from our company or from a third-party vendor. There will not be any difference in terms of how the certificate operates or encodes the information your visitors submit, so your site shall be secure without spending the additional funds for a dedicated IP. The only thing that will be different is that https://the-shared-IP will not open your website, unlike https://the-dedicated-IP, but it's highly unlikely that anyone will ever try to access your website in this way rather than typing your domain name. In addition, we offer an auto-configuration option for the SSLs bought through our company and if you select it and you choose to use a shared IP instead of a dedicated one, our system will set everything up the minute the SSL is approved and issued with no need for any action on your end.
