If you wish to protect the info that visitors submit on your site, you need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation refers to Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol employed to encrypt any information exchanged between a website and its users as to guarantee that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any information, they shall not be able to read or use it in any way. The current level of encryption makes it virtually impossible to decrypt the real content, therefore if you have a login form of some sort or you offer products and services online and clients submit credit card info, using an SSL certificate shall be an assurance that the info is protected. Normally a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your Internet site. The additional cost may matter when you manage a small web store, a non-profit organization or any other entity that doesn't make a big revenue, so to save you the funds, our cloud web hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Web Hosting

You'll be able to use this option with all our web hosting plans and with any SSL certificate issued from any vendor. If you decide to work with an SSL from our company, everything shall be set up automatically and you will not have to do anything after you buy and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will enable you to pick a shared IP to be used and the SSL to be set up by our system, so using this feature requires no more than two additional mouse clicks after you fill the necessary details for the certificate. The adequate operation of the SSL shall not be impacted in any way and any data which visitors submit on your website will be encrypted and secured in the same exact way. The sole big difference from working with a dedicated address is that http:// will not open your website, but it is extremely unlikely that anybody will ever try to access it in this way as opposed to inputting your domain name inside the world-wide web browser URL bar.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to use a shared IP address for an SSL acquired through us or through any other supplier with any one of our semi-dedicated hosting. The setup is really easy and if you acquire the certificate from our company, you can also take advantage of our SSL wizard where with simply a few clicks you can choose the SSL to be installed automatically for the particular domain name or subdomain on the shared IP that's configured to be employed for this purpose. This option shall save you time and work given that you'll not have to do anything after you approve the SSL via e mail, not mentioning the funds you will save for the IP on a monthly basis. Your website will be protected and any client will feel assured that their information shall be protected considering that using a shared IP address does not affect the adequate performance of the certificate and the only difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP cannot be used as a URL to access your website.
