SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encrypts the info that customers submit on a website. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they acquire services and goods online and they enter their credit card details, the data will be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, thus an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the security of your site and shall make it more attractive to consumers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you must spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, that's typically needed for the SSL installation. If you run a small e-commerce portal and your budget is restricted or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you could find better use for the capital, you could avoid the extra expense by taking advantage 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 Hosting
You'll be able to use this option with all our shared hosting solutions and with any SSL certificate issued from any retailer. When you prefer to work with an SSL from our company, everything will be set up automatically and you won't need to do anything after you purchase and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will permit you to pick a shared IP address to be used and the SSL to be installed by our system, so using this feature requires only 2 additional clicks after you fill the needed information for the certificate. The appropriate operation of the SSL shall not be influenced in any way and any information which site visitors submit on your website will be encrypted and protected in the exact same way. The sole difference from using a dedicated address is that http:// will not open your site, but it is unlikely that anybody will ever attempt to access it this way instead of inputting your domain name within the world-wide web browser URL bar.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host an Internet site within a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you wish to protect the info of your visitors, you will be able to use a shared IP address which has been configured for SSL certificates with just a few mouse clicks. You can choose this option in the SSL order wizard that you will find in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can even choose the certificate to be installed for the particular domain name or subdomain automatically by our system. In this way everything could be installed for you on the shared IP the instant you approve the SSL. With this service we offer you the chance to preserve the info of your site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encrypt the data in any way. The sole difference from using a dedicated address is that your website will not be accessible if you type the shared IP instead of the domain/subdomain within the web browser address bar.
