SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encodes the information which users submit on a website. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they buy services and products online and they type in their credit card information, the data shall be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, which means that an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the security of your Internet site and shall make it more inviting to clients, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you have to spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, which is typically required for the SSL installation. In case you have a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is small or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find far better use for the capital, you can avoid the extra expense by taking advantage of our services as 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 Cloud Web Hosting

A shared IP could be employed for any SSL certificate, no matter if you buy it from us or from a different seller and regardless of the cloud web hosting service which you have on our end. If you acquire the SSL through us, you'll find this option on the certificate order page in your hosting CP where you could also make use of the 1-click automatic configuration option which we offer you. If the latter is selected inside the SSL order wizard, our system will install and set up everything for you using the specifically configured server shared IP, therefore once you buy and approve the SSL, there will not be anything else to do on your end. You could save the funds you'll otherwise have to pay for a dedicated IP and the SSL will do the job in the same exact way, so any data the visitors submit shall be encoded. The sole difference is that if you enter the shared IP address instead of your domain within a web browser, the site shall not show up.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host a site inside a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you'd like to preserve the information of your visitors, you will be able to use a shared IP that has been configured for SSL certificates with only several mouse clicks. You can choose this option within the SSL order wizard that you shall find in the Hepsia hosting CP and you could even pick the certificate to be installed for the particular domain or subdomain automatically by our system. In this way everything can be set up for you on the shared IP the minute you approve the SSL. With this service we grant you the opportunity to secure the data of your site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encrypt the data in any way. The sole big difference from using a dedicated address is that your site will not be accessible if you enter the shared IP address as opposed to the domain/subdomain within the web browser address bar.
