If you want to protect the info that visitors submit on your Internet site, you need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation refers to Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol employed to encode any data exchanged between a 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 current level of encryption makes it pretty much impossible to decrypt the real content, and so if you have a login form of some kind or you offer services and products online and clients submit credit card details, using an SSL certificate will be a guarantee that the info 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 if you run a small online shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity that doesn't make a big revenue, so to save you the cash, our cloud web hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.
Shared SSL IP in Cloud Web Hosting
You could use a shared IP for an SSL certificate with every single cloud web hosting package that we offer and regardless if the SSL is bought through our company or through a third-party business. If the SSL is obtained on our end, not only could you choose the shared IP to be set during the order, but you may also pick our auto-configuration option, so once you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system shall install it for you within a few seconds and you'll not need to do anything personally. The sole difference between employing a shared IP and a dedicated one is that your website won't appear if you try to open https://the-IP-address as opposed to https://your-domain-name, but besides that, everything shall be identical. With this function you could protect the data of your clients and have a secure Internet site without the additional expense for a dedicated IP.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can use a shared IP address for an SSL obtained through us or through any other dealer with any of our semi-dedicated hosting packages. The setup is extremely basic and if you acquire the certificate from our company, you can also take full advantage of our SSL wizard where with only a few mouse clicks you could select the SSL to be installed automatically for the selected domain name or subdomain on the shared IP address that is configured to be employed for this purpose. This option will save you time and work considering that you'll not have to do anything after you approve the SSL via e mail, not mentioning the cash you'll save for the IP address on a monthly basis. Your site shall be protected and any client will feel certain that their information will be protected as using a shared IP address does not influence the adequate operation of the certificate and the sole difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP can't be used as a URL to access your site.
