SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that enciphers the info that clients submit on a website. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they acquire services and goods online and they type in their credit card info, the data will be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, which means that 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 appealing to customers, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you must spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, which is typically needed for the SSL installation. If you run a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is restricted or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you can find much better use for the money, you'll be able to avoid the extra expense by taking advantage of our services as our cloud web hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Cloud Web Hosting

Since we offer SSL certificates with our cloud web hosting plans, you can effortlessly secure your site and use a shared IP address with only several clicks. The option shall be available during the order procedure, therefore if you have a dedicated IP address, you could use it, but if you do not have one and you do not want to pay for such a service, you'll be able to use the shared IP, which has been set up particularly for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the exact same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the sole difference shall be that if anyone attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your Internet site. As 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. This way, you can have a risk-free and trustworthy website without spending more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Any SSL certificate can be used with our specially configured shared IPs, thus if you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you'll be able to use this option with simply several mouse clicks when you install a certificate that you acquire through us or through any other dealer. For the SSLs that we offer you are also able to take advantage of an extra function and have our system set everything up for you. In this way the instant you approve the SSL, the shared IP address shall be set for the given domain name or subdomain and the certificate will be installed without any action required on your end, and thus any data that visitors submit on your site shall be secure. The SSL shall perform in the same exact way irrespective if it is set on a shared or a dedicated IP and the 1 thing which is different between the two setups is that typing the shared IP as a URL inside a web browser shall not open your site.
