If you would like to protect the information which visitors submit on your website, you will require an SSL certificate. The abbreviation is short for Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol employed to encrypt any information exchanged between a website and its users as to guarantee that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any information, they shall not be able to read or use it in any way. The current level of encryption makes it pretty much impossible to decrypt the actual content, so if you have a login form of some kind or you offer services and products online and clients submit credit card details, using an SSL certificate will be an assurance that the information is protected. Usually a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your site. The additional cost may matter if you manage a small web store, a non-profit organization or any other entity which doesn't make a big income, 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 Shared Website Hosting

Due to the fact that we offer SSL certificates with our shared website hosting packages, you can quickly secure your website and use a shared IP address with only several mouse clicks. The option will be available during the order procedure, so if you have a dedicated IP address, you could use it, but if you do not have one and you don't want to pay for this sort of a service, you could use the shared IP, which has been configured especially for SSLs. The certificate will work in the exact 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 won't see your Internet site. As our system includes an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be set up automatically as soon as it's issued, so you shall not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. This way, you'll be able to have a secure and reliable site without having to spend more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host a website in a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you'd like to preserve the data of your website visitors, you'll be able to use a shared IP address which has been configured for SSL certificates with just a couple of mouse clicks. You can choose this option within the SSL order wizard which you will find in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you could even select the certificate to be set up for the particular domain name or subdomain automatically by our system. This way everything could be installed for you on the shared IP as soon as you approve the SSL. With this service we give you the chance to secure the information of your site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL will encode the info in any way. The only big difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site will not be accessible if you type the shared IP rather than the domain/subdomain within the Internet browser address bar.
