SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encodes the data which clients submit on an Internet site. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they buy products and services online and they enter their credit card details, the data will be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, thus an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the security of your site and will make it more appealing to customers, but besides the cost for the SSL, you must spend more money for a dedicated IP address, that is typically required for the SSL installation. In case you have a small e-commerce portal and your budget is limited or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you can find far better use for the money, you'll be able to avoid the additional expense by making use of our services as our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Website Hosting

You'll be able to use this option with all our website hosting solutions and with any SSL certificate issued from any vendor. If you prefer to work with an SSL from our company, everything shall be arrange automatically and you will not need 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 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 appropriate functioning of the SSL won't be influenced in any way and any info which visitors submit on your website will be encrypted and secured in the very same way. The one difference from using a dedicated address is that http:// will not open your Internet site, but it is unlikely that anybody will ever seek to access it this way instead of inputting your domain name in the world-wide web browser URL bar.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host an Internet site inside a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you'd like to secure the data of your visitors, you will be able to use a shared IP address which has been configured for SSL certificates with a few mouse clicks. You can choose this option in the SSL order wizard that you'll find in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can even select the certificate to be set up for the particular domain name or subdomain automatically by our system. This way everything can be set up for you on the shared IP the minute you approve the SSL. With this service we offer you the opportunity to protect the information of your site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL will encrypt the data in any way. The sole main difference from using a dedicated address is that your site won't be accessible if you enter the shared IP instead of the domain/subdomain in the web browser address bar.
