If you wish to protect the data which visitors submit on your website, you will require an SSL certificate. The abbreviation stands for Secure Sockets Layer and that's a protocol employed to encrypt any info exchanged between a site and its users as to guarantee that even if an unauthorized person intercepts any info, they'll not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it practically impossible to decrypt the actual content, and so if you have a login form of some type or you offer services and products online and clients submit credit card info, using an SSL certificate shall be a guarantee that the info is protected. Usually a dedicated IP address is needed 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 that doesn't generate a big income, so to save you the cash, our cloud website hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.
Shared SSL IP in Cloud Web Hosting
Since we offer SSL certificates with our cloud web hosting solutions, you can quickly secure your website and use a shared IP address with only a few mouse clicks. The option will be available during the order procedure, hence if you have a dedicated IP, you can use it, but if you don't have one and you do not want to pay for such a service, you'll be able to use the shared IP, which has been configured specifically for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the same exact way as if it had a dedicated IP address and the only difference shall be that if somebody tries to open the IP address as a URL, they'll not see your website. Due to the fact that our system includes an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be installed automatically the moment it is issued, so you will not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you'll be able to have a secure and reliable website without spending extra money for that.
