SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encrypts the data which users submit on an Internet site. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they purchase services and goods online and they type in their credit card information, the data will be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, thus an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the security of your site and shall make it more inviting to clients, but besides the cost for the SSL, you have to spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, that's typically needed for the SSL installation. If you have a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is restricted or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you can find far better use for the funds, you'll be able to avoid the added expense by making use of our services due to the fact that our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Cloud Web Hosting

You shall be able to use this option with all our cloud web 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 won't need to do anything after you purchase and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will enable you to pick a shared IP to be used and the SSL to be installed by our system, so using this feature requires no more than two additional mouse clicks after you fill the necessary information for the certificate. The appropriate operation of the SSL shall not be affected in any way and any details that visitors submit on your website shall be encrypted and secured in the very same way. The one big difference from working with a dedicated address is that http:// shall not open your Internet site, but it is unlikely that anyone will ever attempt to access it in this way instead of inputting your domain name inside the Internet browser URL bar.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host a website inside a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you'd like to protect the data of your site visitors, you'll be able to use a shared IP address which has been configured for SSL certificates with only a couple of clicks. You can choose this option inside the SSL order wizard which you shall find within the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you could even choose the certificate to be set up for the given domain name or subdomain automatically by our system. This way everything could be set up for you on the shared IP the minute you approve the SSL. With this service we offer you the opportunity to secure the information of your website users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL will encrypt the information in any way. The one main difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site will not be accessible if you type the shared IP address instead of the domain/subdomain in the Internet browser address bar.
