SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encrypts the information which customers submit on a website. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they acquire goods and services online and they type in their credit card information, the data will be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, consequently an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the safety of your Internet site and will make it more appealing to clients, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you must spend extra money for a dedicated IP address, that's usually needed for the SSL installation. If you run a small e-commerce portal and your budget is tight or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find far better use for the funds, you could avoid the added expense by making use of our services due to the fact that 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 Shared Website Hosting

You shall be able to use this option with all our shared website hosting packages and with any SSL certificate issued from any vendor. If you choose to use an SSL from our company, everything shall be set up automatically and you won't have to do anything after you purchase and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will enable you to choose a shared IP to be used and the SSL to be set up by our system, so using this feature requires no more than two additional mouse clicks after you fill the needed info for the certificate. The adequate functioning of the SSL won't be impacted in any way and any details which visitors submit on your website will be encrypted and secured in the exact same way. The one big difference from working with a dedicated address is that http:// shall not open your site, but it is unlikely that anybody will ever seek to access it this way as opposed to entering your domain name inside the web browser URL bar.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

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