Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, is a protocol employed to encrypt the information exchanged between a web server and its users. The practical application of employing an SSL is to protect the information which clients submit on your Internet site - a login page, a payment page if you run an Internet store, and so forth. Any information they input in any box on the site will be submitted securely to the server, so their login or payment details shall be protected from being accessed by unauthorized people. Usually, an SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address to be set up, meaning that the overall cost for your web presence shall be bigger. While this might not exactly be an issue for a larger enterprise, it may matter for a non-profit organization or a small web store which doesn't generate big profits if additional money should be spent. That is the key reason why we have taken advantage of an extension called Server Name Indication (SNI) and we've made it possible to use a shared server IP address to install an SSL certificate.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Hosting

Since we offer SSL certificates with our shared hosting solutions, you can effortlessly secure your Internet site and use a shared IP address with just a few clicks. The option will be available during the order process, therefore if you have a dedicated IP address, you'll be able to use it, but if you do not have one and you don't want to pay for this kind of a service, you could use the shared IP, which has been set up particularly for SSLs. The certificate will work in the exact same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the only difference will be that if someone tries to open the IP address as a URL, they will not see your website. Due to the fact that our system features an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be installed automatically the instant it's issued, so you will not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. This way, you'll be able to have a secure and reliable website without having to spend more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to use a shared IP for an SSL bought through us or through any other retailer with any of our semi-dedicated hosting. The setup is incredibly easy and if you get the certificate from our company, you can also take full advantage of our SSL wizard where with simply a few mouse clicks you can choose the SSL to be installed automatically for the selected domain or subdomain on the shared IP address that is configured to be used for this particular purpose. This option shall save you time and efforts given that you won't need to do anything after you approve the SSL via e-mail, not mentioning the cash you'll save for the IP on a monthly basis. Your site shall be secured and any client will feel assured that their information shall be protected considering that using a shared IP address does not affect the proper performance of the certificate and the only real difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP address cannot be used as a URL to access your website.
