If you'd like to protect the data that visitors submit on your site, you'll need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation stands for Secure Sockets Layer and that is a protocol employed to encode any data exchanged between an Internet site and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized person intercepts any info, they will not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it pretty much impossible to decrypt the authentic content, therefore if you have a login form of some kind or you offer services and products online and clients submit credit card information, using an SSL certificate shall be a guarantee that the information is protected. Typically a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your website. The additional expense may matter if you run a small online store, a non-profit organization or any other entity that does not make a big income, 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 Hosting

As we offer SSL certificates with our hosting plans, you can very easily secure your site and use a shared IP address with just several clicks. The option will be available during the order process, hence if you have a dedicated IP, you could use it, but if you do not have one and you do not want to pay for such a service, you'll be able to use the shared IP, that has been configured especially for SSLs. The certificate will work in the very same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the only difference will be that if anyone attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your website. As our system includes an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be installed automatically as soon as it is issued, so you will not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you can have a risk-free and trustworthy Internet site without having to spend extra money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host an Internet site inside a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you would like to secure the info of your website visitors, you will be able to use a shared IP that has been configured for SSL certificates with only several mouse clicks. You can choose this option within the SSL order wizard which you will find in the Hepsia hosting CP and you can even choose the certificate to be installed for the specific domain or subdomain automatically by our system. That way everything can be set up for you on the shared IP the minute you approve the SSL. With this service we grant you the opportunity to preserve the info of your site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL will encrypt the information in any way. The only main difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site won't be accessible if you input the shared IP address instead of the domain/subdomain within the web browser address bar.
