If you'd like to protect the data that visitors submit on your website, you will require an SSL certificate. The abbreviation refers to Secure Sockets Layer and that's a protocol used to encrypt any data exchanged between a site and its users as to guarantee that even if an unauthorized person intercepts any info, they will not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it virtually impossible to decrypt the real content, therefore if you have a login form of some kind or you offer services and goods online and clients submit credit card info, using an SSL certificate will be a guarantee that the data is protected. Typically a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your Internet site. The additional expense may matter in case you run a small web shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity which doesn't make a big income, so to save you the money, our cloud web hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.
Shared SSL IP in Shared Hosting
You can use a shared IP for an SSL certificate with every single shared hosting solution we offer and no matter if the SSL is ordered through us or through a third-party vendor. If the SSL is acquired on our end, not only can you pick the shared IP to be set during the order, but you can also pick our auto-configuration option, so as soon as 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 have to do anything manually. The one difference between using a shared IP address and a dedicated one is that your site will not appear in the event that you try to open https://the-IP-address rather than https://your-domain-name, but besides that, everything will be identical. With this function you could protect the information of your clients and have a reliable Internet site without the extra expense for a dedicated IP address.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you host an Internet site within a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you would like to protect the info of your site visitors, you shall be able to use a shared IP that has been configured for SSL certificates with several mouse clicks. You can select this option in the SSL order wizard which you'll find in the Hepsia hosting CP and you can even choose the certificate to be installed for the particular domain or subdomain automatically by our system. In this way everything can be installed for you on the shared IP the moment you approve the SSL. With this service we grant you the chance to secure the information of your Internet site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encrypt the information in any way. The only main difference from using a dedicated address is that your website won't be accessible if you input the shared IP as opposed to the domain/subdomain in the Internet browser address bar.
