Shared SSL IP
What is a shared SSL IP? How can you install an SSL certificate on this sort of an IP?
If you'd like to protect the data that visitors submit on your site, you'll need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation refers to Secure Sockets Layer and that is a protocol used to encrypt any info exchanged between an Internet site and its users as to guarantee that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any information, they'll not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it literally impossible to decrypt the actual content, thus if you have a login form of some sort or you offer goods and services online and customers submit credit card details, using an SSL certificate will be an assurance that the information is protected. Normally a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your website. The additional cost may matter in case you manage a small web shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity which does not generate a big income, so to save you the money, our cloud web hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you host a site within a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you wish to secure the info of your site visitors, you'll be able to use a shared IP address that has been configured for SSL certificates with only several clicks. You can select this option inside the SSL order wizard that you'll find within the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can even choose the certificate to be set up for the given domain or subdomain automatically by our system. That way everything could be set up for you on the shared IP the moment you approve the SSL. With this service we grant you the opportunity to secure the data of your site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encrypt the info in any way. The only main difference from using a dedicated address is that your site will not be accessible if you enter the shared IP address instead of the domain/subdomain within the browser address bar.
