SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encodes the information that customers submit on an Internet site. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they purchase services and goods online and they enter their credit card details, the data shall be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, which means that an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the safety of your website and shall make it more inviting to consumers, but besides the cost for the SSL, you need to spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, which is typically needed for the SSL installation. In case you run a small e-commerce portal and your budget is limited or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you could find far better use for the capital, you could avoid the extra expense by making use of our services since our cloud website hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Website Hosting

You shall be able to use this option with all of our website hosting packages and with any SSL certificate issued from any dealer. When you choose to work with an SSL from our company, everything can be set up automatically and you'll not need to do anything after you order 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 function requires only two additional clicks after you fill the required info for the certificate. The adequate operation of the SSL shall not be impacted in any way and any details which site visitors submit on your website shall be encrypted and secured in the same exact way. The one big difference from employing a dedicated address is that http:// shall not open your website, but it is extremely unlikely that anyone will ever attempt to access it this way rather than inputting your domain in the world-wide web browser URL bar.
