SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encodes the info which clients submit on an Internet site. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they buy services and products online and they type in their credit card details, the data shall be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, consequently an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the security of your Internet site and shall make it more appealing to clients, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you must spend more money for a dedicated IP address, that's usually required for the SSL installation. If you run a small e-commerce portal and your budget is limited or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you could find much better use for the money, you can avoid the extra expense by making use of our services as 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 of our cloud hosting solutions and with any SSL certificate issued from any retailer. When you prefer to work with an SSL from our company, everything will be set up automatically and you will not have to do anything after you buy and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will allow 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 needed details for the certificate. The appropriate functioning of the SSL won't be affected in any way and any data that website visitors submit on your website will be encrypted and protected in the exact same way. The one difference from employing a dedicated address is that http:// shall not open your Internet site, but it is extremely unlikely that anyone will ever try to access it in this way instead of typing your domain name inside the web browser URL bar.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can use a shared IP address for an SSL acquired through us or through any other supplier with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated packages. The setup is extremely basic and if you get the certificate from our company, you could also take full advantage of our SSL wizard where with simply several clicks you could select the SSL to be installed automatically for the particular domain name or subdomain on the shared IP that is configured to be employed for this purpose. This option shall save you time and efforts since you won't need to do anything after you approve the SSL via e-mail, not mentioning the money you will save for the IP address on a monthly basis. Your Internet site shall be secured and any client will feel assured that their data will be protected considering that using a shared IP address does not affect the adequate functioning of the certificate and the sole difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP can't be used as a URL to access your website.
