If you want to protect the info which visitors submit on your site, you will require an SSL certificate. The abbreviation is short for Secure Sockets Layer and that's a protocol employed to encode any data exchanged between a website and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any data, they will not be able to read or use it in any way. The current level of encryption makes it pretty much impossible to decrypt the authentic content, thus if you have a login form of some type or you offer services and goods online and customers submit credit card info, using an SSL certificate shall be a guarantee that the information is secure. Usually a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your website. The additional cost may matter if you run a small web shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity which does not make a big revenue, 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 Web Hosting

You'll be able to use a shared IP address for an SSL certificate with each web hosting package which we offer and no matter if the SSL is acquired through us or through a third-party company. If the SSL is acquired on our end, not only can you pick the shared IP to be set during the order, but you may also choose our auto-configuration option, so once you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system shall set it up for you within a couple of seconds and you will not have to do anything by hand. The one difference between employing a shared IP address and a dedicated one is that your website will not appear in the event that you try to open https://the-IP-address rather than https://your-domain-name, but aside from that, everything will be the same. With this feature you'll be able to protect the information of your customers and have a secure Internet site without the added expense for a dedicated IP address.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

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