SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encodes the data that users submit on a website. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they purchase products and services online and they enter their credit card details, the data shall be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, hence an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the safety of your website 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 usually required for the SSL installation. If you run a small e-commerce portal and your budget is limited or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find much better use for the capital, you could avoid the extra expense by making use of our services since our cloud website hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Cloud Web Hosting

You can use a shared IP for an SSL certificate with every single cloud web hosting solution we offer and no matter if the SSL is ordered through our company or through a third-party firm. If the SSL is bought on our end, not only will you be able to select the shared IP to be set during the order, but you could also select our auto-configuration option, so as soon as you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system will set it up for you within a few seconds and you won't need to do anything manually. The only difference between using a shared IP address and a dedicated one is that your Internet site will not appear in case you try to open https://the-IP-address as opposed to https://your-domain-name, but besides that, everything shall be identical. With this function you'll be able to protect the info of your customers and have a reliable website without the added expense for a dedicated IP.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host a site within a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you would like to secure the info of your visitors, you shall be able to use a shared IP which has been configured for SSL certificates with only a couple of clicks. You can choose this option inside the SSL order wizard which you shall find inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can even choose the certificate to be set up for the particular domain or subdomain automatically by our system. In this way everything could be set up for you on the shared IP as soon as you approve the SSL. With this service we offer you the chance to secure the data of your site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL will encode the info 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 instead of the domain/subdomain in the web browser address bar.
