If you wish to protect the data that visitors submit on your Internet site, you will require an SSL certificate. The abbreviation stands for Secure Sockets Layer and that is a protocol employed to encode any data exchanged between a site and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized person intercepts any info, they'll not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it virtually impossible to decrypt the actual content, and 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 an assurance that the data is protected. Typically a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your website. The additional expense may matter when you run a small web shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity which doesn't make a big profit, 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 Cloud Web Hosting

Since we offer SSL certificates with our cloud web hosting packages, you can quickly secure your Internet site and use a shared IP address with only a couple of mouse clicks. The option will be available during the order process, therefore if you have a dedicated IP, you'll be able to 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, that has been configured especially for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the very same way as if it had a dedicated IP address and the only difference shall be that if anyone attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they'll not see your site. As our system includes an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be set up automatically the instant it is issued, so you'll not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. This way, you can have a risk-free and reliable website without spending extra cash for that.

You'll be able to use a shared IP address for an SSL acquired through us or through any other vendor with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting. The setup is really simple and if you acquire the certificate from our company, you can also benefit from our SSL wizard where with merely a few clicks you'll be able to select the SSL to be installed automatically for the specific domain or subdomain on the shared IP address which is configured to be used for this specific purpose. This option will save you time and work as you won't need to do anything after you approve the SSL via e mail, not mentioning the money you'll save for the IP address on a monthly basis. Your Internet site will be secure and any client will feel assured that their information shall be protected considering that using a shared IP address does not influence the adequate operation of the certificate and the only real difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP cannot be used as a URL to access your site.
