SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encrypts the information which clients submit on an Internet site. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they buy products and services online and they enter their credit card info, the data shall be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, so an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the safety of your website and will make it more appealing to clients, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you need to spend more funds for a dedicated IP address, which is typically needed for the SSL installation. In case you have a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is limited or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you could find much better use for the capital, you could avoid the added expense by taking advantage of our services given 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 Website Hosting

You could use a shared IP address for an SSL certificate with each cloud website hosting package that we offer and regardless if the SSL is bought through our company or through a third-party business. If the SSL is acquired on our end, not only can you choose the shared IP to be set during the order, but you could also select our auto-configuration option, so as soon as you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system shall handle the installation for you within a matter of seconds and you'll not have to do anything yourself. The one difference between using a shared IP address and a dedicated one is that your Internet site will not appear if you try to open https://the-IP-address instead of https://your-domain-name, but besides that, everything will be identical. With this function you can protect the data of your customers and have a risk-free Internet site without the added expense for a dedicated IP.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host an Internet site in a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you wish to preserve the info of your website visitors, you will be able to use a shared IP address that has been configured for SSL certificates with just several clicks. You can select this option in the SSL order wizard that you will find within the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you could even pick the certificate to be set up for the particular domain or subdomain automatically by our system. This way everything can be installed for you on the shared IP the instant you approve the SSL. With this service we give you the opportunity to preserve the info of your site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL will encrypt the information in any way. The only difference from using a dedicated address is that your site won't be accessible if you type the shared IP rather than the domain/subdomain within the web browser address bar.
