If you want to protect the information that visitors submit on your site, you'll need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation stands for Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol used to encrypt any data exchanged between a site and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any information, they will not be able to read or use it in any way. The current level of encryption makes it literally impossible to decrypt the authentic content, and so if you have a login form of some kind or you offer services and goods online and clients submit credit card info, using an SSL certificate shall be a guarantee that the data is protected. Typically a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your site. The additional cost may matter in case you manage a small online store, a non-profit organization or any other entity which doesn't make a big profit, 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 Website Hosting
Since we offer SSL certificates with our website hosting plans, you can quickly secure your Internet site and use a shared IP address with just a few mouse clicks. The option will be available during the order procedure, so if you have a dedicated IP, you can use it, but if you don't have one and you don't want to pay for this kind of a service, you'll be able to use the shared IP, which has been configured specifically for SSLs. The certificate will work in the very same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the one difference will be that if somebody attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your website. Given that our system comes with an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be set up automatically the instant it is issued, so you will not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you could have a protected and reliable website without spending extra money for that.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host a website in a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you'd like to secure the data of your visitors, you will be able to use a shared IP which has been configured for SSL certificates with a couple of mouse clicks. You can choose this option in the SSL order wizard that you shall find inside the Hepsia hosting CP and you could even select the certificate to be installed for the specific domain 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 grant you the chance to preserve the information of your Internet site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encrypt the info in any way. The sole difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site will not be accessible if you input the shared IP as opposed to the domain/subdomain in the Internet browser address bar.
