Shared SSL IP
Find out how you could install an SSL certificate not having a dedicated IP by using our Shared SSL IPs.
If you want to protect the info that visitors submit on your site, you'll need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation is short for Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol employed to encode any information exchanged between a website and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any information, they will not be able to read or use it in any way. The existing level of encryption makes it pretty much impossible to decrypt the real content, therefore if you have a login form of some type or you offer services and products online and customers submit credit card details, using an SSL certificate will be an assurance that the info is secure. Typically a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your site. The additional expense may matter in case you run a small web shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity that doesn't generate a big revenue, so to save you the cash, our cloud web hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

cloud web hosting plan that you have on our end. If you acquire the SSL through us, you will discover this option on the certificate order page inside your hosting Control Panel where you could also take full advantage of the 1-click automatic configuration option we offer. If the latter is selected inside the SSL order wizard, our system shall install and set up everything for you using the specifically configured server shared IP address, therefore once you buy and approve the SSL, there won't be anything else to do on your end. You could save the cash you'll otherwise have to pay for a dedicated IP and the SSL shall work in the exact same way, so any data which the website visitors submit shall be encoded. The one difference is that if you type the shared IP instead of your domain name in an Internet browser, the Internet site will not display.
