SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encodes the data that clients submit on a website. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they purchase goods and services online and they type in their credit card details, the data will be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, thus an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the safety of your Internet site and will make it more attractive to consumers, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you have to spend extra money for a dedicated IP address, which is typically needed for the SSL installation. If you have a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is restricted or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find better use for the capital, you could avoid the extra expense by making use of our services due to the fact that our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Hosting

As we offer SSL certificates with our hosting solutions, you can effortlessly secure your Internet site and use a shared IP address with only a couple of mouse clicks. The option will be available during the order process, therefore if you have a dedicated IP, you can use it, but if you don't have one and you do not want to pay for such a service, you can use the shared IP, which has been configured specifically for SSLs. The certificate will work in the exact same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the one difference shall be that if someone attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they will not see your site. Since our system has an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be set up automatically the instant it's issued, so you will not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. In this way, you can have a risk-free and trustworthy website without having to spend more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

Any SSL certificate could be employed with our specifically set up shared IPs, thus if you have a semi-dedicated server account, you'll be able to use this option with just a couple of mouse clicks when you install a certificate that you obtain through us or through any other vendor. For the SSLs that we offer you can also take advantage of an additional function and have our system set everything up for you. In this way the minute you approve the SSL, the shared IP address shall be set for the particular domain or subdomain and the certificate will be installed without any action required on your end, so any data that visitors submit on your website will be secure. The SSL will work in the exact same way regardless if it is set on a shared or a dedicated IP address and the only thing that is different between the two setups is that typing the shared IP as a URL in a web browser won't open your site.
