Shared SSL IP
Find out what a shared SSL IP is and in what ways you can use one to instantly set up an SSL certificate.
SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that enciphers the data that customers submit on a website. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they buy services and products online and they type in their credit card details, the data shall be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, so an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the security of your website and will make it more appealing to consumers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you need to spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, which is usually needed for the SSL installation. In case you run a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is small or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you could find much better use for the capital, you can avoid the extra expense by making use of our services as our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can use a shared IP for an SSL purchased through us or through any other retailer with any of our Linux semi-dedicated servers. The setup is incredibly easy and if you acquire the certificate from our company, you can also take full advantage of our SSL wizard where with simply a few mouse clicks you could choose the SSL to be installed automatically for the particular domain or subdomain on the shared IP which is configured to be used for this purpose. This option will save you time and efforts as you will not have to do anything after you approve the SSL via email, not mentioning the funds you'll save for the IP on a monthly basis. Your site shall be secure and any customer will feel confident that their information shall be protected since using a shared IP address does not affect the proper functioning of the certificate and the only real difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP address cannot be used as a URL to access your Internet site.
