If you want to protect the info that visitors submit on your site, you'll need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation refers to Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol used to encode any data exchanged between a site and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized person intercepts any information, they'll not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it pretty much impossible to decrypt the actual content, therefore if you have a login form of some sort or you offer services and goods online and customers submit credit card info, using an SSL certificate will be a guarantee that the data is protected. Typically a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your website. The additional cost may matter if you run a small online shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity which does not make a big income, so to save you the funds, our cloud web hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Cloud Hosting

Given that we offer SSL certificates with our cloud hosting packages, you can easily secure your site and use a shared IP address with only several mouse clicks. The option will be available during the order process, so if you have a dedicated IP address, you'll be able to use it, but if you don't have one and you don't want to pay for such a service, you could use the shared IP, that has been configured particularly for SSLs. The certificate will work in the same exact way as if it had a dedicated IP address and the sole difference shall be that if somebody tries to open the IP address as a URL, they'll not see your Internet site. Given that our system includes an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be set up automatically once it's issued, so you will not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. In this way, you could have a secure and trustworthy site without having to spend extra cash for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host an Internet site in a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you wish to secure the information of your visitors, you will be able to use a shared IP address which has been configured for SSL certificates with only a few clicks. You can pick this option inside the SSL order wizard which you will find within the Hepsia hosting CP and you can even select the certificate to be set up for the given 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 give you the opportunity to secure the data of your website users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encode the info in any way. The only main difference from using a dedicated address is that your website will not be accessible if you enter the shared IP address as opposed to the domain/subdomain within the browser address bar.
