SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encodes the information which customers submit on an Internet site. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they acquire goods and services online and they enter their credit card information, the data shall be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, hence an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the security of your website and will make it more appealing to customers, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you have to spend more funds for a dedicated IP address, that's usually 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 can find better use for the capital, you could avoid the additional expense by taking advantage of our services as 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 Shared Website Hosting

You can use a shared IP for an SSL certificate with each shared website hosting package we offer and irrespective if the SSL is bought through our company or through a third-party firm. If the SSL is obtained on our end, not only will you be able to select the shared IP to be set during the order, but you may also pick our auto-configuration option, so once you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system shall set it up for you within a few seconds and you'll not have to do anything by hand. The one difference between using a shared IP address and a dedicated one is that your Internet site won't appear if you try to open https://the-IP-address as opposed to https://your-domain-name, but besides that, everything shall be identical. With this feature you could protect the info of your clients and have a risk-free website without the added expense for a dedicated IP address.
