Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, is a protocol used to encode the data exchanged between a server and its users. The practical application of employing an SSL is to secure the information which site visitors submit on your website - a login page, a payment page if you run an Internet store, and so forth. Any data they type in in any box on the site shall be submitted safely to the server, so their login or payment information will be protected from being accessed by unauthorized individuals. Usually, an SSL certificate needs a dedicated IP address to be installed, which means the overall cost for your web presence will be higher. While this may not be an issue for a larger firm, it might matter for a non-profit organization or a small online store that doesn't generate big revenue if additional money should be spent. That's the key reason why we have taken advantage of an extension referred to as Server Name Indication (SNI) and we have made it possible to use a shared server IP address to install an SSL certificate.

Shared SSL IP in Website Hosting

Considering that we offer SSL certificates with our website hosting packages, you can effortlessly secure your website and use a shared IP address with just a couple of clicks. The option shall be available during the order procedure, thus if you have a dedicated IP address, you can use it, but if you do not have one and you do not want to pay for such a service, you could use the shared IP, that has been configured especially for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the same exact way as if it had a dedicated IP address and the only difference shall be that if somebody tries to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your website. Due to the fact that our system features an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be installed automatically the moment it is issued, so you'll not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you can have a protected and trustworthy site without having to spend extra cash for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You could use a shared IP for an SSL acquired through us or through any other supplier with any of our semi-dedicated services. The setup is really basic and if you acquire the certificate from our company, you can also take full advantage of our SSL wizard where with just a couple of mouse clicks you'll be able to choose the SSL to be installed automatically for the selected domain or subdomain on the shared IP address that is configured to be employed for this particular purpose. This option shall save you time and efforts since you won't need to do anything after you approve the SSL via email, not mentioning the funds you shall save for the IP address on a monthly basis. Your Internet site will be secure and any customer will feel confident that their information shall be protected since using a shared IP address does not affect the adequate functioning of the certificate and the sole difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP address can't be used as a URL to access your website.
