If you want to protect the info which visitors submit on your site, you will require an SSL certificate. The abbreviation refers to Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol employed to encrypt any data exchanged between a site and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any info, they will not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it literally impossible to decrypt the real content, therefore if you have a login form of some type or you offer services and goods online and clients submit credit card information, using an SSL certificate will be a guarantee that the data is protected. Normally a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your Internet site. The additional cost may matter if you manage a small online store, a non-profit organization or any other entity which does not make a big income, so to save you the funds, our cloud web hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.
Shared SSL IP in Website Hosting
You shall be able to use this option with all of our website hosting plans and with any SSL certificate issued from any dealer. If you decide to work with an SSL from our company, everything will be arrange automatically and you won't have to do anything after you order and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will allow you to choose a shared IP to be used and the SSL to be set up by our system, so using this feature requires no more than 2 additional clicks after you fill the required information for the certificate. The adequate functioning of the SSL shall not be influenced in any way and any data which visitors submit on your website will be encrypted and secured in the very same way. The only big difference from using a dedicated address is that http:// will not open your Internet site, but it is unlikely that anybody will ever attempt to access it in this way rather than entering your domain within the web browser URL bar.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you host a website in a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you would like to preserve the data of your visitors, you shall be able to use a shared IP address that has been configured for SSL certificates with a couple of mouse clicks. You can pick this option within the SSL order wizard which you'll find within the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can even select the certificate to be set up for the particular domain or subdomain automatically by our system. In this way everything can be set up for you on the shared IP the instant you approve the SSL. With this service we grant you the chance to preserve the data of your Internet site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encrypt the info in any way. The sole big difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site shall not accessible if you input the shared IP address as opposed to the domain/subdomain in the web browser address bar.
