Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, is a protocol employed to encode the info exchanged between a web server and its users. The practical application of using an SSL is to preserve the information which site visitors submit on your site - a login page, a payment page if you run a web-based store, and so forth. Any info they enter in any box on the Internet site shall be submitted safely to the server, so their login or payment information will be protected from being accessed by unauthorized individuals. Usually, an SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address to be installed, which implies the overall cost for your presence online shall be bigger. While this may not be an issue for a larger business, it might matter for a non-profit organization or a small online shop that doesn't generate big profits if additional money should be spent. That is the reason why we've taken advantage of an extension called Server Name Indication (SNI) and we have made it possible to use a shared server IP address to set up 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 effortlessly secure your website and use a shared IP address with only several clicks. The option shall be available during the order process, thus if you have a dedicated IP, you can use it, but if you do not have one and you don't want to pay for this kind of a service, you'll be able to use the shared IP, that has been configured especially for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the same exact way as if it had a dedicated IP and the sole difference shall be that if someone tries to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your Internet site. Since our system has an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be installed automatically the moment it's issued, so you will not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. This way, you could have a secure and trustworthy Internet site without having to spend more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host an Internet site within a semi-dedicated server account from our company and you would like to secure the data of your visitors, you'll be able to use a shared IP address which has been configured for SSL certificates with just a few clicks. You can pick this option inside the SSL order wizard that you will find in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can even pick the certificate to be set up for the given domain name or subdomain automatically by our system. That way everything can be set up for you on the shared IP the minute you approve the SSL. With this service we grant you the chance to secure the info of your website users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encrypt the info in any way. The sole difference from using a dedicated address is that your site shall not accessible if you input the shared IP address rather than the domain/subdomain within the web browser address bar.
