SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that enciphers the data that clients submit on a website. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they acquire services and products online and they enter their credit card details, the data shall be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, which means that an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the security of your Internet site and shall make it more inviting to clients, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you need to spend more funds for a dedicated IP address, that is normally needed for the SSL installation. If you manage a small e-commerce portal and your budget is limited or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you could find much better use for the money, you'll be able to avoid the added expense by taking advantage of our services as our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.
Shared SSL IP in Shared Hosting
Due to the fact that we offer SSL certificates with our shared hosting solutions, you can effortlessly secure your site and use a shared IP address with just a few mouse clicks. The option shall be available during the order process, therefore if you have a dedicated IP, you could use it, but if you don't have one and you do not want to pay for such a service, you can use the shared IP, that has been configured specifically for SSLs. The certificate will work in the same exact way as if it had a dedicated IP and the one difference will be that if somebody tries to open the IP address as a URL, they'll not see your website. Given that our system comes with an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be installed automatically the instant it's issued, so you will not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. In this way, you could have a secure and reliable website without having to spend more money for that.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host an Internet site within a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you'd like to secure the data of your site visitors, you will be able to use a shared IP which has been configured for SSL certificates with a few clicks. You can choose this option within the SSL order wizard which you'll find inside the Hepsia hosting CP and you can even pick the certificate to be installed for the specific domain name or subdomain automatically by our system. In this way everything could be set up for you on the shared IP the minute you approve the SSL. With this service we grant you the opportunity to protect the data of your website users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encode the data in any way. The only main difference from using a dedicated address is that your website will not be accessible if you type the shared IP address rather than the domain/subdomain in the web browser address bar.
