SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that enciphers the data which clients submit on a website. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they acquire services and products online and they input their credit card info, the data will be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, so an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the protection of your website and will make it more attractive to clients, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you need to spend more funds for a dedicated IP address, which is normally required for the SSL installation. In case you manage a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is small or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find far better use for the funds, you could avoid the extra expense by taking advantage of our services given that our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Hosting

You could use a shared IP for an SSL certificate with every single shared hosting solution we offer and irrespective if the SSL is obtained through us or through a third-party firm. If the SSL is obtained on our end, not only can you pick the shared IP to be set during the order, but you can also pick our auto-configuration option, so when you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system will handle the installation for you within a matter of seconds and you won't have to do anything by hand. The only difference between employing a shared IP address and a dedicated one is that your site will not appear in the event that you try to open https://the-IP-address instead of https://your-domain-name, but besides that, everything will be exactly the same. With this feature you'll be able to protect the info of your customers and have a risk-free site without the added expense for a dedicated IP address.

This option will save you time and work since you won't need to do anything after you approve the SSL through email, not mentioning the funds you will save for the IP address on a monthly basis.
