SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which enciphers the info that users submit on a website. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they acquire services and products online and they type in their credit card info, the data will 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 increase the security of your site and will make it more inviting to clients, but besides 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 manage a small e-commerce portal and your budget is small 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 Website Hosting

Given that we offer SSL certificates with our website hosting plans, you can quickly secure your website and use a shared IP address with only several clicks. The option will be available during the order process, thus if you have a dedicated IP, you could use it, but if you do not have one and you don't want to pay for this sort of a service, you can use the shared IP, which has been configured particularly for SSLs. The certificate will work in the exact same way as if it had a dedicated IP address and the only difference will be that if somebody tries to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your site. Due to the fact that our system has an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be installed automatically the moment it's issued, so you shall not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you could have a risk-free and reliable site without having to spend extra cash for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The shared IP address option is available with all Linux semi-dedicated packages and the setup takes just 2 mouse clicks inside the hosting CP irrespective if you obtain an SSL through our enterprise or from a third-party vendor. There will not be any difference with regards to how the certificate functions or encrypts the data your site visitors submit, so your website will be secure without spending any additional funds for a dedicated IP address. The sole thing that will be different is that https://the-shared-IP will not open your Internet site, unlike https://the-dedicated-IP, but it is unlikely that anyone shall ever try to access your website in this way rather than entering your domain name. We also offer an auto-configuration option for the SSLs purchased via our company and if you select it and you decide to use a shared IP instead of a dedicated one, our system will set everything up as soon as the SSL is approved and issued without the need for any action on your end.
