If you wish to protect the info which visitors submit on your Internet site, you need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation refers to Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol employed to encrypt any data exchanged between a site and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized person intercepts any info, they'll not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it practically impossible to decrypt the authentic content, therefore if you have a login form of some sort or you offer products and services online and clients submit credit card details, using an SSL certificate will be an assurance that the info is secure. Usually a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your site. The additional expense may matter when you run a small web shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity which does not make a big income, so to save you the funds, our cloud web hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Hosting

You can use a shared IP for an SSL certificate with each and every hosting package which we offer and regardless if the SSL is bought through us or through a third-party business. If the SSL is purchased on our end, not only will you be able to pick the shared IP to be set during the order, but you may also select our auto-configuration option, so as soon as you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system will handle the installation for you within a couple of seconds and you'll not need to do anything by hand. The one difference between using a shared IP address and a dedicated one is that your site will not appear in the event that you try to open https://the-IP-address instead of https://your-domain-name, but other than that, everything will be the same. With this feature you'll be able to protect the info of your customers and have a secure site without the extra expense for a dedicated IP address.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host a website in a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you would like to secure the information of your site visitors, you will be able to use a shared IP which has been configured for SSL certificates with just a few clicks. You can select this option within the SSL order wizard that you shall find within the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you could even select the certificate to be installed for the specific domain name or subdomain automatically by our system. In this way everything could be installed for you on the shared IP the minute you approve the SSL. With this service we offer you the opportunity to protect the information of your Internet site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL will encrypt the data in any way. The one main difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site will not be accessible if you input the shared IP instead of the domain/subdomain in the Internet browser address bar.
