If you want to protect the information which visitors submit on your website, you will require an SSL certificate. The abbreviation refers to Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol used to encrypt any information exchanged between a site and its users as to guarantee that even if an unauthorized person intercepts any information, they will not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it practically impossible to decrypt the actual content, thus if you have a login form of some sort or you offer services and goods online and clients submit credit card details, using an SSL certificate shall be an assurance that the data is secure. Typically a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your site. The additional expense may matter in case you manage a small web store, a non-profit organization or any other entity that does not make 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 Cloud Hosting

You'll be able to use a shared IP address for an SSL certificate with every cloud hosting plan which we offer and irrespective if the SSL is obtained through us or through a third-party company. If the SSL is obtained on our end, not only can you choose the shared IP to be set during the order, but you can also pick our auto-configuration option, so once you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system shall handle the installation for you within a few seconds and you won't need to do anything personally. The one difference between employing a shared IP and a dedicated one is that your website will not appear in the event that you try to open https://the-IP-address as opposed to https://your-domain-name, but aside from that, everything will be identical. With this feature you'll be able to protect the info of your clients and have a risk-free Internet site without the added expense for a dedicated IP.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host a website within a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you would like to secure the data of your visitors, you'll be able to use a shared IP address which has been configured for SSL certificates with just several mouse clicks. You can select this option inside the SSL order wizard which you will find in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can even select the certificate to be set up for the specific domain name or subdomain automatically by our system. In this way everything can be installed for you on the shared IP as soon as you approve the SSL. With this service we give you the chance 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 difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site shall not accessible if you type the shared IP address rather than the domain/subdomain inside the browser address bar.
