Shared SSL IP
Discover how you could install an SSL certificate without needing a dedicated IP thanks to our Shared SSL IPs.
If you want to protect the information that visitors submit on your Internet site, you need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation refers to Secure Sockets Layer and that is a protocol used to encode any info exchanged between a website and its users as to guarantee that even if an unauthorized person intercepts any data, they will not be able to read or use it in any way. The existing level of encryption makes it practically impossible to decrypt the actual content, and so if you have a login form of some kind or you offer services and goods online and customers 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 website. The additional cost may matter in case you manage a small online shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity which does not generate a big profit, so to save you the money, our cloud hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.
Shared SSL IP in Web Hosting
A shared IP can be used for any SSL certificate, irrespective if you purchase it from our company or from a different dealer and regardless of the web hosting service you have on our end. If you obtain the SSL through us, you will find this option on the certificate order page in your hosting Control Panel where you could also make use of the 1-click automatic configuration option we offer you. If the latter is picked in the SSL order wizard, our system shall install and set up everything for you using the specially configured server shared IP address, thus once you buy and approve the SSL, there shall not be anything else to do on your end. You could save the funds that you will otherwise need to pay for a dedicated IP address and the SSL shall function in the same exact way, so any info which the site visitors submit shall be encoded. The only difference is that if you enter the shared IP instead of your domain in a browser, the Internet site will not display.
