SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encodes the data that users submit on a website. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they buy services and products online and they type in their credit card information, the data will be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, consequently an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the security of your website and will make it more appealing to consumers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you have to spend more funds for a dedicated IP address, which is typically required for the SSL installation. In case you run a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is small or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you could find better use for the money, you'll be able to avoid the additional expense by taking advantage of our services since our cloud web hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Cloud Hosting

Since we offer SSL certificates with our cloud hosting packages, you can effortlessly secure your website and use a shared IP address with only a few clicks. The option will be available during the order process, hence if you have a dedicated IP, you'll be able to use it, but if you don't have one and you don't want to pay for this type of a service, you'll be able to use the shared IP, which has been set up particularly 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 tries to open the IP address as a URL, they will not see your Internet site. As our system has an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be installed automatically the instant it is issued, so you will not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you'll be able to have a risk-free and reliable Internet site without having to spend extra money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

Any SSL certificate could be used with our specially configured shared IPs, thus if you have a semi-dedicated server account, you can use this option with merely a few clicks when you install a certificate that you obtain through us or through another retailer. For the SSLs we offer you are also able to take advantage of another function and have our system set everything up for you. Thus once you approve the SSL, the shared IP shall be set for the particular domain name or subdomain and the certificate shall be installed with no action needed on your end, and so any info that visitors submit on your site shall be secure. The SSL will function in the exact same way no matter if it is set on a shared or a dedicated IP address and the 1 thing that's different between the two setups is that entering the shared IP as a URL within a web browser will not open your site.
