SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encodes the data which customers submit on an Internet site. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they buy services and goods online and they enter their credit card details, the data shall be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, thus an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the security of your website and shall make it more attractive to consumers, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you need to spend more money for a dedicated IP address, that is usually needed for the SSL installation. If you have 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 taking advantage 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 Cloud Hosting

You shall be able to use this option with all our cloud hosting packages and with any SSL certificate issued from any retailer. When you decide to use an SSL from our company, everything can be set up automatically and you'll not have to do anything after you order and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will enable you to pick a shared IP address to be used and the SSL to be set up by our system, so using this feature requires a maximum of 2 additional clicks after you fill the required info for the certificate. The adequate functioning of the SSL won't be impacted in any way and any information that site visitors submit on your website shall be encrypted and secured in the exact same way. The only big difference from employing a dedicated address is that http:// will not open your site, but it is unlikely that anybody will ever seek to access it this way rather than entering your domain name inside the Internet browser URL bar.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host a site within a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you would like to secure the data of your website visitors, you will be able to use a shared IP address which has been configured for SSL certificates with just several clicks. You can choose this option inside the SSL order wizard that you'll find within the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you could even pick the certificate to be installed for the given domain name or subdomain automatically by our system. This way everything can be installed for you on the shared IP the instant you approve the SSL. With this service we offer you the opportunity to secure the data of your Internet site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encode the info in any way. The only difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site won't be accessible if you type the shared IP as opposed to the domain/subdomain in the browser address bar.
