SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encrypts the info that users submit on an Internet site. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they acquire services and goods online and they input their credit card information, the data shall be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, consequently an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the safety of your Internet site and shall make it more attractive to clients, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you have to spend more money for a dedicated IP address, that's typically needed for the SSL installation. If you run a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is limited or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you can find better use for the capital, you'll be able to avoid the additional expense by making use of our services given that our cloud web hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Hosting

A shared IP could be employed for any SSL certificate, irrespective if you acquire it from us or from another retailer and regardless of the shared hosting package that you have on our end. If you obtain the SSL from us, you will discover this option on the certificate order page within your hosting Control Panel where you can also make use of the 1-click automatic configuration option we offer. If the latter is chosen inside the SSL order wizard, our system will install and set up everything for you through the specially configured server shared IP address, so once you order and approve the SSL, there shall not be anything else to do on your end. You'll be able to save the money you'll otherwise have to pay for a dedicated IP and the SSL will do the job in the exact same way, so any information the website visitors submit shall be encoded. The only difference is that if you enter the shared IP instead of your domain name inside a browser, the Internet site will not display.
