If you would like to protect the information that visitors submit on your site, you will require an SSL certificate. The abbreviation is short for Secure Sockets Layer and that's a protocol used to encrypt any info exchanged between a website and its users as to guarantee that even if an unauthorized person intercepts any information, they shall not be able to read or use it in any way. The existing level of encryption makes it practically impossible to decrypt the authentic content, and so if you have a login form of some type or you offer goods and services online and customers submit credit card details, using an SSL certificate shall be an assurance that the info is secure. Normally a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your Internet site. The additional expense may matter if you manage a small online shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity which doesn't make a big revenue, so to save you the funds, our cloud hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.
Shared SSL IP in Cloud Hosting
You shall be able to use this option with all of our cloud hosting packages and with any SSL certificate issued from any dealer. If you prefer to use an SSL from our company, everything can be arrange automatically and you won't need to do anything after you purchase and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will permit you to pick a shared IP address to be used and the SSL to be installed by our system, so using this function requires no more than 2 additional clicks after you fill the necessary information for the certificate. The proper operation of the SSL shall not be influenced in any way and any details which visitors submit on your website will be encrypted and protected in the same exact way. The one difference from working with a dedicated address is that http:// won't open your website, but it is extremely unlikely that anybody will ever attempt to access it this way rather than typing your domain name within the browser URL bar.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you host a website inside a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you wish to secure the data of your website visitors, you'll be able to use a shared IP which has been configured for SSL certificates with just a few mouse clicks. You can select this option in the SSL order wizard that you'll find in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you could even choose the certificate to be installed for the given domain name or subdomain automatically by our system. In this way everything can be installed for you on the shared IP the minute you approve the SSL. With this service we offer you the opportunity to protect the information of your Internet site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encode the info in any way. The only difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site won't be accessible if you type the shared IP as opposed to the domain/subdomain in the Internet browser address bar.
