If you want to protect the information which visitors submit on your Internet site, you need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation stands for Secure Sockets Layer and that is a protocol employed to encrypt any information 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 practically impossible to decrypt the real content, thus if you have a login form of some kind or you offer services and products online and clients submit credit card info, using an SSL certificate will be an assurance that the data is protected. Usually a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your Internet site. The additional expense may matter in case you manage a small web shop, 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

Given that we offer SSL certificates with our cloud hosting packages, 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, therefore if you have a dedicated IP address, you can use it, but if you do not have one and you don't want to pay for this type 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 and the sole difference shall be that if anyone attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they'll not see your website. As our system includes an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be set up automatically once it is issued, so you will not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. In this way, you could have a protected and trustworthy site without spending more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host a website in a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you'd like to preserve the information of your site visitors, you'll be able to use a shared IP which has been configured for SSL certificates with just a few clicks. You can pick this option within the SSL order wizard that you'll find inside the Hepsia hosting CP and you can even pick the certificate to be set up for the specific domain name or subdomain automatically by our system. That way everything could be installed for you on the shared IP the minute you approve the SSL. With this service we give you the opportunity 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 won't be accessible if you type the shared IP as opposed to the domain/subdomain inside the Internet browser address bar.
