If you'd like to protect the info which visitors submit on your Internet site, you'll need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation refers to Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol used to encode any data exchanged between a website and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any data, they shall not be able to read or use it in any way. The current level of encryption makes it literally impossible to decrypt the actual content, therefore if you have a login form of some kind or you offer services and products online and customers submit credit card details, using an SSL certificate will be a guarantee that the info is secure. Typically a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your Internet site. The additional cost may matter when you manage a small online shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity that 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 Shared Hosting

You'll be able to use this option with all our shared hosting packages and with any SSL certificate issued from any retailer. If you decide to work with an SSL from our company, everything shall 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 choose a shared IP address to be used and the SSL to be installed by our system, so using this function requires no more than two additional mouse clicks after you fill the needed info for the certificate. The adequate functioning of the SSL shall not be impacted in any way and any details that visitors submit on your website will be encrypted and protected in the very same way. The one difference from using a dedicated address is that http:// won't open your website, but it is extremely unlikely that anybody will ever seek to access it in this way instead of typing your domain name inside the world-wide web browser URL bar.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host a website within a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you would like to secure the information of your website visitors, you'll be able to use a shared IP which has been configured for SSL certificates with several clicks. You can choose this option within the SSL order wizard that you shall find within the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you could even select the certificate to be installed for the given domain name or subdomain automatically by our system. That way everything can be installed for you on the shared IP the moment you approve the SSL. With this service we grant you the opportunity to preserve the data of your site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encrypt the info in any way. The only difference from using a dedicated address is that your site won't be accessible if you enter the shared IP rather than the domain/subdomain inside the web browser address bar.
