SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which enciphers the info that clients submit on a website. If they enter 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 web server in an encrypted form, consequently an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the protection of your website and shall make it more attractive to customers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you have to spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, that is typically required for the SSL installation. In case you manage a small e-commerce portal and your budget is small or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you could find far better use for the capital, you'll be able to avoid the extra expense by making use of our services due to the fact that our cloud website hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Web Hosting

As we offer SSL certificates with our shared web hosting plans, you can quickly secure your website and use a shared IP address with just a couple of clicks. The option shall be available during the order procedure, hence if you have a dedicated IP, you'll be able to use it, but if you do not have one and you don't want to pay for such a service, you'll be able to use the shared IP, that has been configured particularly for SSLs. The certificate will work in the same exact way as if it had a dedicated IP and the sole difference will be that if somebody attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your site. Due to the fact that our system comes with an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be installed automatically the moment it's issued, so you'll not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. In this way, you could have a protected and reliable Internet site without having to spend extra money for that.

This option will save you time and efforts since you'll not need to do anything after you approve the SSL through e-mail, not mentioning the funds you shall save for the IP on a monthly basis. Your website shall be protected and any customer will feel assured that their info shall be protected as using a shared IP address does not affect the proper operation of the certificate and the sole difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP can't be used as a URL to access your website.
