SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encrypts the data that clients submit on an Internet site. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they buy services and goods online and they type in their credit card info, the data will be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, hence an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the safety of your site and will make it more inviting to clients, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you need to spend more money for a dedicated IP address, which is normally required for the SSL installation. If you manage a modest 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 money, you can avoid the added expense by making use 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 Website Hosting
Due to the fact that we offer SSL certificates with our website hosting plans, you can very easily secure your site and use a shared IP address with only a couple of mouse clicks. The option shall be available during the order procedure, so if you have a dedicated IP address, you'll be able to use it, but if you don't have one and you don't want to pay for this kind of a service, you can use the shared IP, that has been configured especially for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the exact same way as if it had a dedicated IP address and the only difference shall be that if somebody attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they'll not see your website. Due to the fact that our system comes with an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be set up automatically once it is issued, so you will not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you'll be able to have a protected and trustworthy website without having to spend more money for that.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You'll be able to use a shared IP for an SSL obtained through us or through any other retailer with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting. The setup is very simple and if you acquire the certificate from our company, you could also benefit from our SSL wizard where with simply a few clicks you can select the SSL to be installed automatically for the specific domain or subdomain on the shared IP address which is configured to be employed for this purpose. This option shall save you time and efforts given that you won't have to do anything after you approve the SSL via e-mail, not mentioning the money you shall save for the IP address on a monthly basis. Your website will be protected and any client will feel confident that their info shall be protected as using a shared IP address doesn't influence the adequate operation of the certificate and the only real difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP address can't be used as a URL to access your website.
