SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that enciphers the info that customers submit on a website. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they acquire products and services online and they enter their credit card details, the data will be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, hence an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the security of your Internet site and will make it more inviting to clients, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you must spend extra money for a dedicated IP address, that is typically required for the SSL installation. If you run a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is restricted or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you can find better use for the money, you can avoid the additional expense by making use of our services due to the fact that our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Cloud Hosting

You can use a shared IP for an SSL certificate with each cloud hosting plan that we offer and no matter if the SSL is bought through our company or through a third-party vendor. If the SSL is bought on our end, not only will you be able to select the shared IP to be set during the order, but you may also choose our auto-configuration option, so as soon as you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system will set it up for you within a matter of seconds and you won't have to do anything by hand. The only difference between employing a shared IP address and a dedicated one is that your Internet site will not appear in the event that you try to open https://the-IP-address rather than https://your-domain-name, but aside from that, everything shall be exactly the same. With this feature you could protect the information of your customers and have a secure site without the additional expense for a dedicated IP address.
