If you wish to protect the data which visitors submit on your Internet site, you will require an SSL certificate. The abbreviation stands for Secure Sockets Layer and that is a protocol employed to encrypt any information exchanged between an Internet site and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any info, they'll not be able to read or use it in any way. The existing level of encryption makes it literally impossible to decrypt the authentic content, and so if you have a login form of some type or you offer products and services online and clients submit credit card details, using an SSL certificate shall be an assurance that the info is protected. 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 if you run a small web store, a non-profit organization or any other entity that doesn't generate a big profit, so to save you the funds, our cloud hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Web Hosting

You can use a shared IP address for an SSL certificate with every single web hosting solution we offer and regardless if the SSL is bought through us or through a third-party firm. If the SSL is obtained on our end, not only can you choose the shared IP to be set during the order, but you could also choose our auto-configuration option, so when you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system shall set it up for you within a few seconds and you'll not have to do anything by hand. The only difference between employing a shared IP and a dedicated one is that your site won't appear if you try to open https://the-IP-address as opposed to https://your-domain-name, but apart from that, everything will be identical. With this feature you'll be able to protect the info of your clients and have a secure site without the additional expense for a dedicated IP.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host a site inside a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you wish to preserve the data of your website visitors, you shall be able to use a shared IP address that has been configured for SSL certificates with a few clicks. You can select this option in the SSL order wizard which you'll find within the Hepsia hosting CP and you can even choose the certificate to be set up for the specific domain 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 offer you the opportunity to secure the data of your website users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encode the information in any way. The sole difference from using a dedicated address is that your website won't be accessible if you input the shared IP as opposed to the domain/subdomain inside the Internet browser address bar.
