SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encodes the info that clients submit on an Internet site. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they acquire services and goods online and they enter their credit card details, the data will be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, therefore an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the security of your site and will make it more inviting to consumers, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you have to spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, that is typically required for the SSL installation. If you run a small e-commerce portal and your budget is tight or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you can find far better use for the capital, you'll be able to avoid the added expense by taking advantage of our services due to the fact that our cloud website hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.
Shared SSL IP in Web Hosting
Since we offer SSL certificates with our web hosting solutions, you can quickly secure your site and use a shared IP address with just a couple of clicks. The option will be available during the order procedure, therefore if you have a dedicated IP address, you can use it, but if you don't have one and you don't want to pay for such a service, you could use the shared IP, that has been set up 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 attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they will not see your Internet site. Given that our system has an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be set up automatically once it is issued, so you will not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you could have a risk-free and trustworthy site without having to spend extra money for that.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host an Internet site inside a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you wish to protect the data of your visitors, you will be able to use a shared IP that has been configured for SSL certificates with only several mouse clicks. You can select this option in the SSL order wizard which you shall find within the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can even pick the certificate to be set up for the particular domain or subdomain automatically by our system. This way everything can be installed for you on the shared IP the instant you approve the SSL. With this service we grant you the opportunity to protect the information of your website users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL will encode the information in any way. The sole big difference from using a dedicated address is that your site will not be accessible if you input the shared IP address rather than the domain/subdomain inside the browser address bar.
