SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encodes the data which customers submit on a website. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they buy services and products online and they input their credit card info, the data will be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, therefore an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the protection of your Internet site and shall make it more attractive to clients, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you have to spend more money for a dedicated IP address, that's typically 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 could find much better use for the capital, you could avoid the additional expense by taking advantage of our services given 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 Web Hosting
As we offer SSL certificates with our web hosting plans, you can very easily secure your Internet site and use a shared IP address with only several mouse clicks. The option shall be available during the order procedure, so 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 this sort of a service, you can use the shared IP, which has been configured specifically for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the exact same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the sole difference shall be that if someone tries to open the IP address as a URL, they'll not see your website. Given that our system features an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be set up automatically the instant it's issued, so you'll not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you can have a risk-free and reliable site without spending more money for that.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you host an Internet site within a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you'd like to preserve the info of your site visitors, you will be able to use a shared IP address which has been configured for SSL certificates with several mouse clicks. You can choose this option within the SSL order wizard that you shall find inside the Hepsia hosting CP and you could even choose the certificate to be installed for the particular domain name or subdomain automatically by our system. In this way everything can be installed for you on the shared IP the moment you approve the SSL. With this service we offer you the opportunity to preserve the information of your Internet site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL will encode the information in any way. The sole difference from using a dedicated address is that your website shall not accessible if you type the shared IP address as opposed to the domain/subdomain inside the browser address bar.
