SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encodes the info which users submit on a website. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they buy products and services online and they input their credit card details, the data will be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, therefore an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the protection of your site and shall make it more appealing to consumers, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you need to spend extra money for a dedicated IP address, that's usually needed for the SSL installation. If you have a small e-commerce portal and your budget is small or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you can find much better use for the money, you could avoid the additional expense by taking advantage of our services as 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 Hosting

You'll be able to use a shared IP for an SSL certificate with every hosting package which we offer and regardless if the SSL is bought through our company or through a third-party firm. If the SSL is acquired on our end, not only will you be able to select the shared IP to be set during the order, but you can also select our auto-configuration option, so when you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system will do the installation for you within a matter of seconds and you won't have to do anything personally. The sole difference between employing a shared IP address and a dedicated one is that your site will not appear in the event that you try to open https://the-IP-address rather than https://your-domain-name, but other than that, everything will be identical. With this feature you can protect the info of your clients and have a risk-free site without the added expense for a dedicated IP.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host a website within a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you'd like to preserve the info of your site visitors, you shall be able to use a shared IP address that has been configured for SSL certificates with just a couple of clicks. You can choose this option inside the SSL order wizard which you'll find inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you could even pick the certificate to be set up for the given 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 offer you the chance to protect the info of your Internet site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encrypt the info in any way. The only difference from using a dedicated address is that your website shall not accessible if you type the shared IP address as opposed to the domain/subdomain in the Internet browser address bar.
