If you wish to protect the information which visitors submit on your Internet site, you will require an SSL certificate. The abbreviation is short for Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol employed to encrypt any info exchanged between a site and its users as to guarantee that even if an unauthorized person intercepts any info, they'll not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it practically impossible to decrypt the authentic content, therefore if you have a login form of some sort or you offer services and products online and clients submit credit card details, using an SSL certificate will be a guarantee that the information is protected. Usually a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your Internet site. The additional cost may matter if you run a small online store, a non-profit organization or any other entity which does not make a big revenue, so to save you the cash, our cloud website hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.
Shared SSL IP in Cloud Hosting
You'll be able to use a shared IP for an SSL certificate with each and every cloud hosting solution that we offer and regardless if the SSL is purchased through our company or through a third-party business. If the SSL is purchased on our end, not only can you select the shared IP to be set during the order, but you could also choose our auto-configuration option, so when you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system will do the installation for you within a couple of seconds and you will not need to do anything by hand. The only difference between using a shared IP and a dedicated one is that your website will not appear in the event that you try to open https://the-IP-address as opposed to https://your-domain-name, but besides that, everything will be the same. With this feature you could protect the data of your customers and have a risk-free website without the added expense for a dedicated IP address.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you host a site in a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you'd like to preserve the information of your site visitors, you shall be able to use a shared IP address that has been configured for SSL certificates with a few clicks. You can select this option in the SSL order wizard that you'll find inside the Hepsia hosting CP and you can even pick the certificate to be installed for the particular domain or subdomain automatically by our system. This way everything can be set up for you on the shared IP the moment you approve the SSL. With this service we grant you the opportunity to preserve the information of your website users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encode the data in any way. The only difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site will not be accessible if you input the shared IP address as opposed to the domain/subdomain within the browser address bar.
