Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, is a protocol employed to encode the info exchanged between a hosting server and its users. The practical application of employing an SSL is to protect the information which customers submit on your site - a login page, a payment page if you run a web-based store, and so forth. Any data they input in any box on the website shall be submitted safely and securely to the server, so their login or payment details shall be protected from being accessed by unauthorized individuals. In general, an SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address to be installed, meaning that the overall cost for your online presence will be higher. While this might not be an issue for a larger enterprise, it might matter for a non-profit organization or a small web store that does not generate big profits if additional money should be spent. This is the reason why we have taken advantage of an extension known as 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 Cloud Website Hosting

Due to the fact that we offer SSL certificates with our cloud website hosting packages, you can quickly secure your site and use a shared IP address with only a couple of clicks. The option shall be available during the order process, so if you have a dedicated IP, you'll be able to use it, but if you don't have one and you do not want to pay for this type of a service, you could use the shared IP, that has been configured specifically for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the exact same way as if it had a dedicated IP and the only difference will be that if somebody attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your website. Due to the fact that our system has an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be set up automatically the moment it's issued, so you'll not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. This way, you could have a protected and trustworthy website without having to spend more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host an Internet site inside a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you'd like to preserve the info of your website visitors, you will be able to use a shared IP address that has been configured for SSL certificates with a couple of clicks. You can pick this option in the SSL order wizard which you will find within the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can even choose the certificate to be installed for the specific domain or subdomain automatically by our system. That way everything could be installed for you on the shared IP as soon as you approve the SSL. With this service we give you the opportunity to secure the information of your site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encode the data in any way. The one difference from using a dedicated address is that your site will not be accessible if you input the shared IP instead of the domain/subdomain within the browser address bar.
