If you want to protect the info which visitors submit on your Internet site, you will require an SSL certificate. The abbreviation refers to Secure Sockets Layer and that's a protocol employed to encrypt any info exchanged between an Internet site and its users as to guarantee that even if an unauthorized person intercepts any info, they shall not be able to read or use it in any way. The existing level of encryption makes it practically impossible to decrypt the authentic content, so if you have a login form of some type or you offer products and services online and clients submit credit card details, using an SSL certificate will be a guarantee that the information is secure. Normally a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your site. The additional expense may matter when you run a small web shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity which doesn't generate a big income, so to save you the money, our cloud hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Hosting

You can use a shared IP for an SSL certificate with each hosting solution we offer and regardless if the SSL is acquired through us or through a third-party business. If the SSL is purchased on our end, not only can you choose the shared IP to be set during the order, but you may also select our auto-configuration option, so as soon as you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system will handle the installation for you within a few seconds and you won't need to do anything by hand. The sole difference between using a shared IP address and a dedicated one is that your site will not appear if you try to open https://the-IP-address instead of https://your-domain-name, but aside from that, everything shall be exactly the same. With this feature you can protect the information of your clients and have a risk-free site without the additional expense for a dedicated IP.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host a site within a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you wish to secure the information of your site visitors, you'll be able to use a shared IP address that has been configured for SSL certificates with only a couple of mouse clicks. You can pick this option within the SSL order wizard that you'll find in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can even pick the certificate to be installed for the particular domain or subdomain automatically by our system. In this way everything can be set up for you on the shared IP the moment you approve the SSL. With this service we offer you the chance to secure the info of your website users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL will encrypt the data in any way. The sole difference from using a dedicated address is that your site will not be accessible if you input the shared IP address instead of the domain/subdomain inside the browser address bar.
