If you'd like to protect the information which visitors submit on your website, you need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation refers to Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol employed to encode any information exchanged between a website and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized person intercepts any information, they will not be able to read or use it in any way. The existing level of encryption makes it practically impossible to decrypt the actual content, and so if you have a login form of some kind or you offer services and goods online and customers submit credit card details, using an SSL certificate will be a guarantee that the information is protected. Typically a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your site. The additional expense may matter in case you manage a small online store, a non-profit organization or any other entity which does not generate a big revenue, so to save you the money, our cloud hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Website Hosting

You can use a shared IP address for an SSL certificate with every single website hosting solution we offer and no matter if the SSL is purchased through us or through a third-party firm. If the SSL is bought on our end, not only could you pick the shared IP to be set during the order, but you can also pick our auto-configuration option, so when you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system shall handle the installation for you within a few seconds and you won't have to do anything yourself. The only difference between using a shared IP address and a dedicated one is that your Internet site will not appear in the event that you try to open https://the-IP-address instead of https://your-domain-name, but besides that, everything shall be identical. With this function you can protect the data of your customers and have a reliable Internet site without the added expense for a dedicated IP address.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Any SSL certificate could be used with our specially set up shared IPs, thus if you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you could use this option with only a couple of clicks when you install a certificate you obtain through us or through some other dealer. For the SSLs which we offer you could also take advantage of an extra function and have our system set everything up for you. In this way once you approve the SSL, the shared IP address will be set for the specific domain name or subdomain and the certificate shall be installed without any action expected on your end, and so any data that site visitors submit on your Internet site will be secure. The SSL shall function in the same exact way irrespective if it is set on a shared or a dedicated IP and the only thing which is different between the two setups is that inputting the shared IP address as a URL within an Internet browser won't open your website.
