SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encodes the data that users submit on a website. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they purchase services and goods online and they enter their credit card information, the data shall be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, therefore an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the security of your Internet site and shall make it more inviting to customers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you need to spend extra money for a dedicated IP address, which is normally required for the SSL installation. If you manage a small e-commerce portal and your budget is tight or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find better use for the funds, you can avoid the additional expense by making use of our services due to the fact that our cloud website hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Hosting

A shared IP could be used for any SSL certificate, irrespective if you get it from our company or from a different dealer and regardless of the shared hosting service that you have on our end. If you obtain the SSL from us, you shall discover this option on the certificate order page inside your hosting CP where you could also take advantage of the 1-click automatic configuration option we offer you. If the latter is picked inside the SSL order wizard, our system shall install and set up everything for you using the specifically configured server shared IP, so once you buy and approve the SSL, there shall not be anything else to do on your end. You'll be able to save the funds that you will otherwise need to pay for a dedicated IP address and the SSL shall function in the exact same way, so any info the website visitors submit will be encrypted. The one difference is that if you input the shared IP address instead of your domain within an Internet browser, the site won't show up.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host a site inside a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you'd like to preserve the data of your visitors, you'll be able to use a shared IP which has been configured for SSL certificates with a couple of clicks. You can pick this option in the SSL order wizard that you will find in the Hepsia hosting CP and you can even choose the certificate to be installed for the particular domain or subdomain automatically by our system. In this way everything can be set up for you on the shared IP the instant you approve the SSL. With this service we give you the opportunity to secure the information of your website users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL will encrypt the info in any way. The one big difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site won't be accessible if you type the shared IP as opposed to the domain/subdomain in the web browser address bar.
