If you would like 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 this is a protocol used to encode any information exchanged between a website and its users as to guarantee that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any info, they'll not be able to read or use it in any way. The existing level of encryption makes it pretty much impossible to decrypt the real content, thus if you have a login form of some type or you offer products and services online and customers submit credit card information, using an SSL certificate shall be a guarantee that the info is secure. Typically a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your website. The additional cost may matter when you manage a small web store, a non-profit organization or any other entity that doesn't make a big income, so to save you the funds, our cloud hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.
Shared SSL IP in Shared Web Hosting
Since we offer SSL certificates with our shared web hosting packages, you can effortlessly secure your website and use a shared IP address with only a few mouse clicks. The option will be available during the order process, hence if you have a dedicated IP address, you could use it, but if you do not have one and you do not want to pay for this sort of a service, you can use the shared IP, which has been set up especially for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the exact same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the one difference will be that if anyone attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your Internet site. As our system features an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be installed automatically once it's issued, so you'll not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you can have a secure and reliable Internet site without spending extra cash for that.
