SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encrypts the information which users submit on a website. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they buy services and goods online and they enter their credit card information, the data will be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, hence an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the safety of your site and will make it more appealing to consumers, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you have to spend extra money for a dedicated IP address, that's usually required for the SSL installation. In case you run a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is tight or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you could find better use for the money, you can avoid the extra expense by making use of our services due to the fact that our cloud web hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Hosting

You'll be able to use a shared IP address for an SSL certificate with each shared hosting plan that we offer and irrespective if the SSL is acquired through our company or through a third-party business. If the SSL is acquired on our end, not only can you select the shared IP to be set during the order, but you may also select our auto-configuration option, so as soon as you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system will handle the installation for you within a couple of seconds and you'll not need to do anything personally. The one difference between employing a shared IP address and a dedicated one is that your website will not appear if you try to open https://the-IP-address rather than https://your-domain-name, but besides that, everything will be identical. With this feature you can protect the info of your customers and have a reliable site without the additional expense for a dedicated IP address.
