If you'd like to protect the data which visitors submit on your site, you need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation is short for Secure Sockets Layer and that's a protocol used to encrypt any info exchanged between an Internet 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 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 information, using an SSL certificate will be a guarantee that the info is protected. 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 when you manage a small online store, a non-profit organization or any other entity which does not make a big revenue, 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 Shared Hosting

Given that we offer SSL certificates with our shared hosting plans, you can very easily secure your Internet site and use a shared IP address with only a couple of mouse clicks. The option will be available during the order procedure, hence if you have a dedicated IP, you'll be able to use it, but if you do not have one and you don't want to pay for this sort of a service, you can use the shared IP, which has been configured especially for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the very same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the only difference shall be that if anyone tries to open the IP address as a URL, they'll not see your website. Due to the fact that our system features an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be set up automatically as soon as it is issued, so you shall not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. This way, you'll be able to have a protected and reliable website without spending extra cash for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host a site in a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you would like to preserve the data of your website visitors, you'll be able to use a shared IP which has been configured for SSL certificates with only several mouse clicks. You can choose this option inside the SSL order wizard that you shall find in the Hepsia hosting CP and you can even pick the certificate to be installed for the specific domain or subdomain automatically by our system. This way everything can be set up for you on the shared IP as soon as you approve the SSL. With this service we grant you the opportunity to protect the info of your site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encrypt the information in any way. The sole difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site won't be accessible if you input the shared IP address instead of the domain/subdomain inside the Internet browser address bar.
