SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encodes the data that clients submit on a website. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they buy products and services online and they type in their credit card information, the data will be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, consequently an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the protection of your Internet site and will make it more attractive to consumers, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you must spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, which is typically needed for the SSL installation. In case you have a small e-commerce portal and your budget is tight or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you could find much better use for the funds, you can avoid the additional expense by taking advantage of our services due to the fact 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

Considering that we offer SSL certificates with our cloud hosting solutions, you can easily secure your website and use a shared IP address with just a couple of mouse clicks. The option shall be available during the order procedure, so if you have a dedicated IP, you could use it, but if you don't have one and you don't want to pay for such a service, you'll be able to use the shared IP, which has been configured particularly for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the same exact way as if it had a dedicated IP address and the only difference will be that if anyone tries to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your site. Given that our system comes with an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be set up automatically as soon as it's issued, so you shall not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you could have a secure and reliable Internet site without having to spend extra money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host a website in a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you wish to secure the data of your visitors, you shall be able to use a shared IP that has been configured for SSL certificates with only several clicks. You can choose this option in the SSL order wizard which you'll find within 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 give you the chance to secure the information of your website users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encode the information in any way. The only difference from using a dedicated address is that your site will not be accessible if you type the shared IP as opposed to the domain/subdomain within the web browser address bar.
