SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encodes the data which clients 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 enter their credit card information, the data shall be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, consequently an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the safety of your site and will make it more appealing to consumers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you must spend more funds for a dedicated IP address, that's normally required for the SSL installation. In case you manage a small e-commerce portal and your budget is limited or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find better use for the money, you could avoid the additional expense by taking advantage of our services as our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Cloud Web Hosting

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

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host a website within a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you'd like to secure the info of your visitors, you will be able to use a shared IP address which has been configured for SSL certificates with only a couple of mouse clicks. You can select this option in the SSL order wizard which you shall find inside the Hepsia hosting CP and you could even pick the certificate to be set up for the particular domain or subdomain automatically by our system. In this way everything could be installed for you on the shared IP as soon as you approve the SSL. With this service we grant you the opportunity to protect the information of your website users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encode the information in any way. The one main difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site won't be accessible if you enter the shared IP address as opposed to the domain/subdomain in the Internet browser address bar.
