SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encodes the info that customers submit on a website. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they acquire services and goods online and they input their credit card info, the data shall be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, therefore an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the security of your Internet site and shall make it more attractive to clients, but besides the cost for the SSL, you need to spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, that's normally needed for the SSL installation. If you run a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is tight or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find much better use for the capital, you'll be able to avoid the additional expense by making use of our services as 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 Web Hosting

You could use a shared IP for an SSL certificate with each and every web hosting package we offer and no matter if the SSL is ordered through our company or through a third-party company. If the SSL is bought on our end, not only could you choose the shared IP to be set during the order, but you may also choose our auto-configuration option, so when 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 manually. The one difference between using a shared IP address and a dedicated one is that your site will not appear in case you try to open https://the-IP-address instead of https://your-domain-name, but aside from that, everything will be identical. With this feature you could protect the data of your customers and have a risk-free Internet site without the additional expense for a dedicated IP.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host a site within a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you would like to protect the info of your site visitors, you will be able to use a shared IP which has been configured for SSL certificates with a couple of clicks. You can choose this option inside the SSL order wizard which you will find inside the Hepsia hosting CP and you can even choose the certificate to be installed for the particular domain name or subdomain automatically by our system. That way everything can be installed for you on the shared IP the minute you approve the SSL. With this service we offer you the chance to preserve the data of your Internet site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL will encode the data in any way. The sole difference from using a dedicated address is that your website will not be accessible if you input the shared IP address rather than the domain/subdomain within the browser address bar.
