If you would like to protect the information which visitors submit on your site, you need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation stands for Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol employed to encrypt any info exchanged between an Internet site and its users as to guarantee that even if an unauthorized person intercepts any info, they will not be able to read or use it in any way. The existing level of encryption makes it virtually impossible to decrypt the authentic content, so if you have a login form of some kind or you offer products and services online and customers submit credit card information, using an SSL certificate will be an assurance that the information is secure. Typically a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your website. The additional expense may matter in case you manage a small web shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity which doesn't make a big revenue, so to save you the funds, our cloud hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Web Hosting

Due to the fact that we offer SSL certificates with our web hosting solutions, you can easily secure your Internet site and use a shared IP address with only several mouse clicks. The option will be available during the order procedure, therefore if you have a dedicated IP address, you can use it, but if you don't have one and you do not want to pay for this kind of a service, you'll be able to use the shared IP, which has been configured specifically for SSLs. The certificate will work in the very same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the one difference shall be that if anyone tries to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your Internet site. As our system includes an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be set up automatically the instant it's issued, so you will not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. This way, you can have a secure and reliable website without having to spend more money for that.
