SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encodes the data which users submit on a website. If they input 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 will be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, thus an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the protection of your site and will make it more attractive to clients, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you have to spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, that's typically needed for the SSL installation. If you run a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is small or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find much better use for the funds, you can avoid the extra expense by taking advantage of our services as our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Hosting

Since we offer SSL certificates with our shared hosting packages, you can effortlessly secure your Internet site and use a shared IP address with only several mouse clicks. The option will be available during the order procedure, hence if you have a dedicated IP address, you can use it, but if you don't have one and you don't want to pay for such a service, you'll be able to use the shared IP, that has been configured particularly for SSLs. The certificate will work in the same exact way as if it had a dedicated IP and the one difference shall be that if anyone tries to open the IP address as a URL, they'll not see your site. Since our system includes an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be set up automatically the instant it's issued, so you shall not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you could have a protected and reliable website without spending extra money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can use a shared IP address for an SSL acquired through us or through any other supplier with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting. The setup is quite easy and if you obtain the certificate from our company, you can also take full advantage of our SSL wizard where with merely a few clicks you can pick the SSL to be installed automatically for the specific domain name or subdomain on the shared IP that's configured to be used for this specific purpose. This option shall save you time and work considering that you will not need 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 site will be secured and any customer will feel assured that their data shall be protected as using a shared IP address doesn't affect the adequate performance 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 Internet site.
