If you would like to protect the info which visitors submit on your site, you'll need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation is short for Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol used to encode any information exchanged between an Internet site and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized person intercepts any info, they will not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it literally impossible to decrypt the authentic content, therefore if you have a login form of some sort or you offer goods 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 required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your site. The additional cost may matter when you run a small online store, a non-profit organization or any other entity which does not make a big income, so to save you the money, our cloud website hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Website Hosting

You'll be able to use this option with all of our website hosting solutions and with any SSL certificate issued from any dealer. When you decide to work with an SSL from our company, everything can be set up automatically and you will not have to do anything after you order and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will enable you to pick a shared IP to be used and the SSL to be installed by our system, so using this function requires no more than two additional clicks after you fill the required details for the certificate. The proper functioning of the SSL won't be influenced in any way and any information that visitors submit on your website will be encrypted and secured in the same exact way. The one big difference from working with a dedicated address is that http:// won't open your website, but it is unlikely that anybody will ever try to access it in this way as opposed to inputting your domain name within the Internet browser URL bar.

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 preserve the information of your website visitors, you'll be able to use a shared IP which has been configured for SSL certificates with only a couple of mouse clicks. You can select this option within the SSL order wizard that you'll find inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you could even choose the certificate to be installed for the specific domain name or subdomain automatically by our system. That way everything could be set up for you on the shared IP the instant you approve the SSL. With this service we grant you the opportunity to protect the info of your website users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encrypt the info in any way. The one big difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site will not be accessible if you type the shared IP instead of the domain/subdomain in the Internet browser address bar.
