SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encodes the info which clients submit on a website. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they buy goods and services online and they input their credit card information, the data shall be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, consequently an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the security of your Internet site and shall make it more inviting to customers, but besides the cost for the SSL, you must spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, which is usually needed for the SSL installation. If you run a small e-commerce portal and your budget is limited or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you can find better use for the money, you could avoid the additional expense by taking advantage of our services as our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Hosting

You'll be able to use this option with all of our shared hosting solutions and with any SSL certificate issued from any vendor. If you decide to use an SSL from our company, everything will be set up automatically and you won't have to do anything after you purchase and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will enable you to select a shared IP to be used and the SSL to be installed by our system, so using this function requires a maximum of 2 additional clicks after you fill the needed details for the certificate. The adequate operation of the SSL won't be impacted in any way and any information that website visitors submit on your website will be encrypted and secured in the exact same way. The sole difference from using a dedicated address is that http:// won't open your site, but it is extremely unlikely that anybody will ever try to access it this way instead of entering your domain name within the world-wide web browser URL bar.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to use a shared IP address for an SSL bought through us or through any other supplier with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting. The setup is really easy and if you obtain the certificate from our company, you can also benefit from our SSL wizard where with merely a few mouse clicks you'll be able to choose the SSL to be installed automatically for the selected domain name or subdomain on the shared IP address that's configured to be used for this particular purpose. This option will save you time and efforts considering that you'll not have to do anything after you approve the SSL via e mail, not mentioning the funds you shall save for the IP address on a monthly basis. Your Internet site will be protected and any customer will feel confident that their data shall be protected given that using a shared IP address does not influence the adequate operation of the certificate and the only real difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP can't be used as a URL to access your website.
