If you'd like to protect the info which visitors submit on your website, you need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation stands for Secure Sockets Layer and that's a protocol used to encrypt any data exchanged between an Internet site and its users as to guarantee that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any data, they shall not be able to read or use it in any way. The current level of encryption makes it virtually impossible to decrypt the real content, thus if you have a login form of some type or you offer services and products online and customers submit credit card information, using an SSL certificate will be a guarantee that the info is protected. Typically a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your website. The additional cost may matter when you run a small web store, a non-profit organization or any other entity that doesn't generate a big income, so to save you the cash, our cloud hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Hosting

Given that we offer SSL certificates with our shared hosting plans, you can easily secure your site and use a shared IP address with just a couple of clicks. The option shall be available during the order process, so if you have a dedicated IP address, you'll be able to use it, but if you do not have one and you do not want to pay for this sort of a service, you could use the shared IP, that has been configured particularly for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the exact same way as if it had a dedicated IP address and the one difference will be that if anyone attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they will not see your site. Since our system includes an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be set up automatically the instant it is issued, so you'll not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. In this way, you can have a secure and reliable Internet site without having to spend more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host an Internet site within a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you would like to protect the information of your website visitors, you'll be able to use a shared IP address which has been configured for SSL certificates with only a couple of clicks. You can select this option within the SSL order wizard that you shall find inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you could even choose the certificate to be installed for the particular domain name or subdomain automatically by our system. That way everything could be installed for you on the shared IP as soon as you approve the SSL. With this service we offer you the opportunity to preserve the info of your site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encode the data in any way. The only main difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site won't be accessible if you input the shared IP as opposed to the domain/subdomain within the web browser address bar.
