SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encodes the data which customers submit on an Internet site. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they acquire services and products online and they input their credit card information, the data shall be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, therefore an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the security of your website and shall make it more inviting to clients, but besides the cost for the SSL, you have to spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, which is typically needed for the SSL installation. In case you have a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is tight or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find far better use for the capital, you can avoid the extra expense by making use of our services due to the fact that our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Web Hosting

Considering that we offer SSL certificates with our shared web hosting solutions, you can effortlessly secure your site and use a shared IP address with only several clicks. The option shall be available during the order process, therefore if you have a dedicated IP, you could use it, but if you don't have one and you do not want to pay for such a service, you could use the shared IP, that has been configured especially for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the exact same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the one difference shall be that if someone tries to open the IP address as a URL, they will not see your site. Due to the fact that our system features an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be installed automatically the moment it is issued, so you'll not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. In this way, you could have a risk-free and trustworthy website without spending extra cash for that.

The shared IP address option is available with all semi-dedicated plans and the setup takes merely 2 clicks inside the hosting CP irrespective if you buy an SSL via our enterprise or from a third-party vendor. There will not be any difference in terms of how the certificate operates or encrypts the data your website visitors submit, so your site shall be protected without spending the extra cash for a dedicated IP address. The only thing that will be different is that https://the-shared-IP will not open your Internet site, unlike https://the-dedicated-IP, but it is quite unlikely that anyone shall ever try to access your site in this way as opposed to keying in your domain name. Additionally we offer an auto-configuration option for the SSLs purchased via our company and if you select it and you decide to use a shared IP address instead of a dedicated one, our system shall set everything up the instant the SSL is approved and issued without the need for any action on your end.
