SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that enciphers the data which customers submit on a website. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they buy products and services online and they type in their credit card details, the data shall be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, thus an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the protection of your Internet site and will make it more attractive to customers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you need to spend extra money for a dedicated IP address, that is normally required for the SSL installation. In case you manage a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is limited or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find much better use for the capital, you can avoid the additional expense by making use of our services as our cloud web hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.
Shared SSL IP in Hosting
You could use a shared IP address for an SSL certificate with every hosting plan that we offer and no matter if the SSL is acquired through our company or through a third-party business. If the SSL is purchased on our end, not only could you pick the shared IP to be set during the order, but you can also pick our auto-configuration option, so when you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system will handle the installation for you within a few seconds and you'll not have to do anything manually. The only difference between using a shared IP and a dedicated one is that your site won't appear in the event that you try to open https://the-IP-address instead of https://your-domain-name, but apart from that, everything will be exactly the same. With this function you can protect the info of your customers and have a reliable website without the added expense for a dedicated IP address.
