If you would like to protect the data which visitors submit on your Internet site, you'll need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation is short for Secure Sockets Layer and that is a protocol used to encode any information exchanged between an Internet site and its users as to guarantee that even if an unauthorized person intercepts any data, they'll not be able to read or use it in any way. The current level of encryption makes it virtually impossible to decrypt the real content, thus if you have a login form of some sort or you offer products and services online and clients submit credit card details, using an SSL certificate will be an assurance that the info is protected. Normally a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your Internet site. The additional cost may matter if you run a small online store, a non-profit organization or any other entity which does not make a big profit, 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 Website Hosting
As we offer SSL certificates with our website hosting solutions, you can effortlessly secure your site and use a shared IP address with only several mouse clicks. The option shall be available during the order process, hence if you have a dedicated IP address, you can use it, but if you don't have one and you don't want to pay for such a service, you could use the shared IP, which has been set up particularly for SSLs. The certificate will work in the same exact way as if it had a dedicated IP address and the sole difference will be that if someone 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 will be installed automatically as soon as it is issued, so you'll not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. This way, you could have a risk-free and trustworthy website without spending extra cash for that.
