If you'd like to protect the data that visitors submit on your Internet site, you need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation refers to Secure Sockets Layer and that is a protocol employed 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 shall not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it virtually impossible to decrypt the authentic content, and so if you have a login form of some kind or you offer goods and services online and customers submit credit card info, using an SSL certificate will be a guarantee that the info is protected. Typically 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 manage a small web shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity which doesn't make a big profit, so to save you the money, our cloud web hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Cloud Web Hosting

Given that we offer SSL certificates with our cloud web hosting solutions, you can easily secure your site and use a shared IP address with only a few mouse clicks. The option shall be available during the order process, so if you have a dedicated IP, you could 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, that has been set up especially for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the exact same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the one difference will be that if somebody tries to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your website. Since our system features an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be installed automatically the instant it is issued, so you'll not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. This way, you can have a risk-free and trustworthy Internet site without having to spend extra money for that.
