If you would like to protect the info which visitors submit on your site, you'll need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation stands for Secure Sockets Layer and that is a protocol employed to encode any data exchanged between a 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 current level of encryption makes it virtually impossible to decrypt the actual content, so if you have a login form of some kind or you offer products and services online and clients submit credit card information, using an SSL certificate will be a guarantee that the data is protected. Usually a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your website. The additional cost may matter if you run a small web store, a non-profit organization or any other entity that doesn't make a big revenue, so to save you the funds, our cloud web hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Website Hosting

You will be able to use this option with all our shared website hosting plans and with any SSL certificate issued from any retailer. If you decide to use an SSL from our company, everything will be set up automatically and you'll not need to do anything after you obtain and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will permit you to pick a shared IP address to be used and the SSL to be set up by our system, so using this function requires no more than two additional clicks after you fill the necessary information for the certificate. The adequate operation of the SSL shall not be influenced in any way and any data that site visitors submit on your website shall be encrypted and secured in the very same way. The one difference from working with a dedicated address is that http:// shall not open your Internet site, but it is extremely unlikely that anybody will ever try to access it in this way instead of entering your domain in the web browser URL bar.
