If you want to protect the info which visitors submit on your website, you will require an SSL certificate. The abbreviation refers to Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol employed to encode any info exchanged between an Internet site and its users as to ensure 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 virtually impossible to decrypt the authentic content, so if you have a login form of some sort or you offer products and services online and customers submit credit card info, using an SSL certificate will be an assurance that the info is secure. Typically a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your website. The additional cost may matter when you manage a small online store, a non-profit organization or any other entity that doesn't generate a big profit, so to save you the cash, 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 Web Hosting
You will be able to use this option with all our cloud web hosting packages and with any SSL certificate issued from any retailer. When you choose to work with an SSL from our company, everything will be set up automatically and you will not need to do anything after you buy and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will permit you to pick a shared IP to be used and the SSL to be installed by our system, so using this feature requires no more than 2 additional clicks after you fill the necessary info for the certificate. The adequate functioning of the SSL will not be influenced in any way and any data which site visitors submit on your website shall be encrypted and secured in the very same way. The only big difference from working with a dedicated address is that http:// shall not open your Internet site, but it is unlikely that anyone will ever seek to access it in this way rather than inputting your domain name in the web browser URL bar.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You could use a shared IP address for an SSL obtained through us or through any other retailer with any one of our semi-dedicated hosting. The setup is extremely easy and if you acquire the certificate from our company, you could also take advantage of our SSL wizard where with merely a couple of mouse clicks you could pick the SSL to be installed automatically for the specific domain name or subdomain on the shared IP which is configured to be employed for this specific purpose. This option will save you time and efforts since you will not need to do anything after you approve the SSL via e-mail, not mentioning the cash you shall save for the IP address on a monthly basis. Your Internet site shall be protected and any client will feel confident that their info will be protected considering that using a shared IP address does not influence the adequate performance of the certificate and the only difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP address cannot be used as a URL to access your site.
