If you'd like to protect the data which visitors submit on your Internet site, you will require an SSL certificate. The abbreviation refers to Secure Sockets Layer and that's a protocol used to encode any data exchanged between a website and its users as to guarantee that even if an unauthorized person intercepts any data, they will not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it virtually impossible to decrypt the real content, and so if you have a login form of some kind or you offer services and products online and clients submit credit card information, using an SSL certificate shall be an assurance that the info is secure. Usually a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your website. The additional cost may matter in case you run a small web shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity that doesn't make a big income, so to save you the funds, our cloud website hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Hosting

Since we offer SSL certificates with our hosting packages, you can quickly secure your Internet site and use a shared IP address with only several mouse clicks. The option will be available during the order process, hence if you have a dedicated IP address, you can use it, but if you don't have one and you do not want to pay for this type of a service, you'll be able to 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 and the sole difference shall be that if anyone attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they'll not see your website. As our system has an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be installed automatically as soon as it's issued, so you will not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. In this way, you can have a risk-free and trustworthy website without having to spend more money for that.
