SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encrypts the information that customers submit on a website. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they purchase products and services online and they type in their credit card info, the data will be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, thus an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the safety of your site and will make it more attractive to clients, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you have to spend extra money for a dedicated IP address, that is usually required for the SSL installation. If you run a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is restricted or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find far better use for the funds, you could avoid the additional expense by making use of our services since our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Website Hosting

You'll be able to use a shared IP for an SSL certificate with each shared website hosting package which we offer and regardless if the SSL is acquired through our company or through a third-party business. If the SSL is acquired on our end, not only could you select the shared IP to be set during the order, but you may also pick our auto-configuration option, so when you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system will handle the installation for you within a few 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 won't appear in the event that you try to open https://the-IP-address instead of https://your-domain-name, but besides that, everything will be identical. With this feature you could protect the information of your customers and have a secure site without the added expense for a dedicated IP address.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host a website in a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you wish to preserve the information of your site visitors, you shall be able to use a shared IP which has been configured for SSL certificates with only a few clicks. You can choose this option within the SSL order wizard that you will find inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can even select the certificate to be installed for the given domain or subdomain automatically by our system. In this way everything can be set up for you on the shared IP the moment you approve the SSL. With this service we give you the chance to secure the info of your site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encrypt the info in any way. The only big difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site won't be accessible if you input the shared IP address rather than the domain/subdomain inside the web browser address bar.
