SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that enciphers the data that users submit on a website. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they purchase goods and services online and they type in their credit card information, the data shall be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, thus an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the safety of your site and will make it more attractive to customers, but besides the cost for the SSL, you need to spend more money for a dedicated IP address, that's typically required for the SSL installation. If you run a small e-commerce portal and your budget is restricted or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you could find far better use for the funds, you could avoid the additional expense by making use of our services since 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 Hosting

You could use a shared IP address for an SSL certificate with each and every cloud hosting solution which we offer and irrespective if the SSL is obtained through us or through a third-party vendor. If the SSL is acquired on our end, not only could you choose 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 shall install it for you within a few seconds and you won't have to do anything manually. The sole difference between using a shared IP and a dedicated one is that your website won't appear in the event that you try to open https://the-IP-address instead of https://your-domain-name, but other than that, everything shall be the same. With this feature you'll be able to protect the data of your customers and have a reliable website without the additional expense for a dedicated IP address.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to use a shared IP address for an SSL bought through us or through any other dealer with any of our semi-dedicated hosting. The setup is really simple and if you obtain the certificate from our company, you can also benefit from our SSL wizard where with merely several mouse clicks you'll be able to select the SSL to be installed automatically for the selected domain name or subdomain on the shared IP which is configured to be used for this purpose. This option shall save you time and efforts since you'll not have to do anything after you approve the SSL via email, not mentioning the cash you will save for the IP address on a monthly basis. Your site shall be secure and any customer will feel confident that their info shall be protected as using a shared IP address does not affect the adequate operation of the certificate and the only real difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP can't be used as a URL to access your website.
