SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that enciphers the data which customers submit on a website. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they acquire goods and services online and they input their credit card details, the data will be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, which means that an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the security of your site and will make it more appealing to consumers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you have to spend more money for a dedicated IP address, that's usually required for the SSL installation. If you manage a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is small or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you can find far better use for the capital, you could avoid the additional expense by taking advantage of our services given that our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.
Shared SSL IP in Cloud Hosting
You can use a shared IP address for an SSL certificate with every cloud hosting solution we offer and regardless if the SSL is bought through our company or through a third-party vendor. If the SSL is obtained on our end, not only will you be able to pick the shared IP to be set during the order, but you may also pick our auto-configuration option, so as soon as you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system shall do the installation for you within a couple of seconds and you won't need to do anything personally. The sole difference between employing a shared IP and a dedicated one is that your Internet site will not appear in case you try to open https://the-IP-address instead of https://your-domain-name, but apart from that, everything will be the same. With this feature you'll be able to protect the info of your customers and have a secure site without the extra expense for a dedicated IP.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host an Internet site inside a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you'd like to preserve the info of your visitors, you shall be able to use a shared IP address that has been configured for SSL certificates with a few clicks. You can choose this option inside the SSL order wizard which you shall find inside the Hepsia hosting CP and you could even choose the certificate to be set up for the given domain or subdomain automatically by our system. This way everything could be set up for you on the shared IP as soon as you approve the SSL. With this service we offer you the chance to protect the info of your website users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL will encode the info in any way. The only difference from using a dedicated address is that your website will not be accessible if you input the shared IP instead of the domain/subdomain within the browser address bar.
