If you'd like to protect the data that visitors submit on your site, you will require an SSL certificate. The abbreviation is short for Secure Sockets Layer and that's a protocol used to encode any info exchanged between a website and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any info, they will not be able to read or use it in any way. The current level of encryption makes it practically impossible to decrypt the actual content, so if you have a login form of some sort or you offer products and services online and customers submit credit card details, using an SSL certificate shall be a guarantee that the information is secure. Normally a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your website. The additional cost may matter when you manage a small online store, a non-profit organization or any other entity which does not generate a big revenue, so to save you the funds, our cloud website hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Hosting

Since we offer SSL certificates with our shared hosting solutions, you can very easily secure your website and use a shared IP address with only a few clicks. The option shall be available during the order process, so if you have a dedicated IP, you could use it, but if you don't have one and you don't want to pay for this type of a service, you can use the shared IP, that has been configured specifically for SSLs. The certificate will work in the very same way as if it had a dedicated IP address and the sole difference shall be that if somebody attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they'll not see your site. Since our system features an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be installed automatically the instant it is issued, so you shall not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you'll be able to have a risk-free and trustworthy site without spending more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can use a shared IP for an SSL purchased through us or through any other dealer with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting. The setup is quite basic and if you get the certificate from our company, you could also take full advantage of our SSL wizard where with just a few mouse clicks you could choose the SSL to be installed automatically for the particular domain or subdomain on the shared IP address which is configured to be employed for this particular purpose. This option will save you time and efforts as you won't have to do anything after you approve the SSL via email, not mentioning the cash you shall save for the IP on a monthly basis. Your website will be secured and any client will feel assured that their information will be protected since using a shared IP address doesn't influence the adequate performance of the certificate and the only real difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP address cannot be used as a URL to access your website.
