SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that enciphers the information which clients submit on a website. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they buy services and goods online and they enter their credit card details, the data shall be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, so an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the protection of your site and will make it more inviting to consumers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you must spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, that is usually needed for the SSL installation. In case you manage a small e-commerce portal and your budget is tight or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you could find much better use for the money, you can avoid the extra expense by taking advantage of our services due to the fact that our cloud web hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Website Hosting

You can use a shared IP address for an SSL certificate with each and every website hosting plan we offer and no matter if the SSL is obtained through us or through a third-party business. If the SSL is acquired on our end, not only could you choose the shared IP to be set during the order, but you may also select our auto-configuration option, so when you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system will install it for you within a matter of seconds and you'll not need to do anything yourself. The sole difference between using a shared IP and a dedicated one is that your site will not appear if you try to open https://the-IP-address instead of https://your-domain-name, but other than that, everything shall be identical. With this feature you'll be able to protect the information of your clients and have a secure website without the added expense for a dedicated IP address.
