SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encrypts the info that customers submit on an Internet site. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they purchase goods and services online and they type in their credit card details, the data shall be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, hence an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the safety of your Internet site and shall make it more inviting to consumers, but besides the cost for the SSL, you have to spend extra money for a dedicated IP address, that is usually required for the SSL installation. In case you have a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is tight or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you could find much better use for the money, you can avoid the extra expense by making use of our services as our cloud web hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.
Shared SSL IP in Hosting
You'll be able to use a shared IP for an SSL certificate with each hosting package which we offer and regardless if the SSL is ordered through our company or through a third-party business. If the SSL is purchased on our end, not only can you choose the shared IP to be set during the order, but you can also choose our auto-configuration option, so as soon as you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system shall install it for you within a matter of seconds and you won't need to do anything manually. The one difference between employing a shared IP address and a dedicated one is that your site won't appear in case you try to open https://the-IP-address as opposed to https://your-domain-name, but aside from that, everything shall be exactly the same. With this function you can protect the data of your clients and have a secure Internet site without the extra expense for a dedicated IP address.
