If you'd like to protect the information which 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 encrypt any data exchanged between a site and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any info, they'll not be able to read or use it in any way. The existing level of encryption makes it literally impossible to decrypt the authentic content, therefore if you have a login form of some sort or you offer goods and services online and customers submit credit card info, using an SSL certificate shall be an assurance that the information is protected. Usually a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your site. The additional cost may matter in case you manage a small online store, a non-profit organization or any other entity that does not make a big income, so to save you the funds, our cloud hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.
Shared SSL IP in Shared Hosting
Since we offer SSL certificates with our shared hosting solutions, you can very easily secure your Internet site and use a shared IP address with just a couple of clicks. The option will be available during the order procedure, so if you have a dedicated IP, you can use it, but if you don't have one and you don't want to pay for this kind of a service, you could use the shared IP, which has been set up especially for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the same exact way as if it had a dedicated IP address and the sole difference will be that if somebody attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your site. Due to the fact that our system features an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be installed automatically as soon as it's issued, so you'll not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. In this way, you can have a risk-free and reliable website without spending extra money for that.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host a website inside a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you would like to preserve the info of your website visitors, you shall be able to use a shared IP that has been configured for SSL certificates with several clicks. You can pick this option in the SSL order wizard which you will find in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you could even choose the certificate to be installed for the particular domain or subdomain automatically by our system. That way everything could be set up for you on the shared IP as soon as you approve the SSL. With this service we give you the chance to secure the info of your Internet site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL will encode the information in any way. The only main difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site shall not accessible if you enter the shared IP rather than the domain/subdomain inside the Internet browser address bar.
