If you want to protect the information which visitors submit on your website, you need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation stands for Secure Sockets Layer and that's a protocol employed to encrypt any data exchanged between an Internet site and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any information, they shall not be able to read or use it in any way. The existing level of encryption makes it literally impossible to decrypt the actual content, thus if you have a login form of some kind or you offer goods and services online and customers submit credit card info, using an SSL certificate shall be a guarantee that the data is protected. Usually a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your Internet site. The additional cost may matter in case you run a small online shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity which does not make a big profit, so to save you the money, our cloud hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Cloud Hosting

Due to the fact that we offer SSL certificates with our cloud hosting packages, you can quickly secure your website and use a shared IP address with only a few mouse clicks. The option shall be available during the order process, thus if you have a dedicated IP address, you can use it, but if you do not have one and you do not want to pay for this type of a service, you could use the shared IP, which has been set up especially for SSLs. The certificate will work in the exact same way as if it had a dedicated IP address and the one difference will be that if someone attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your website. Given that our system comes with an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be installed automatically the instant it's issued, so you'll 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 website without having to spend more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

You could use a shared IP for an SSL purchased through us or through any other retailer with any of our semi-dedicated hosting plans. The setup is very easy and if you obtain the certificate from our company, you can also take advantage of our SSL wizard where with merely several clicks you could select the SSL to be installed automatically for the specific domain name or subdomain on the shared IP which is configured to be employed for this specific purpose. This option shall save you time and efforts given that you will not have to do anything after you approve the SSL through e mail, not mentioning the money you will save for the IP address on a monthly basis. Your site will be secure and any client will feel assured that their info will be protected considering that using a shared IP address doesn't influence the proper 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.
