If you wish to protect the info that visitors submit on your site, you need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation stands for Secure Sockets Layer and that's a protocol used to encode any data exchanged between a site and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any data, they will not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it virtually impossible to decrypt the authentic content, thus if you have a login form of some sort or you offer products and services online and clients submit credit card details, using an SSL certificate shall be a guarantee that the data is secure. Normally a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your Internet site. The additional cost may matter in case you run a small web shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity which doesn't generate a big profit, so to save you the money, our cloud website hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Website Hosting

As we offer SSL certificates with our website hosting solutions, you can easily secure your Internet site and use a shared IP address with only several clicks. The option will be available during the order procedure, thus if you have a dedicated IP address, you can use it, but if you don't have one and you don't want to pay for this sort of a service, you can use the shared IP, that has been set up particularly for SSLs. The certificate will work in the very same way as if it had a dedicated IP address and the only difference shall be that if anyone attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your website. Since our system features an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be installed automatically once it is issued, so you will not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you can have a protected and reliable site without having to spend more money for that.
