Shared SSL IP
Find out how you can install an SSL certificate not having a dedicated IP with the help of our Shared SSL IPs.
If you'd like to protect the info that visitors submit on your site, you will require an SSL certificate. The abbreviation stands for Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol employed to encrypt any info exchanged between an Internet site and its users as to guarantee that even if an unauthorized person intercepts any data, they shall not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it virtually impossible to decrypt the real content, so if you have a login form of some sort or you offer goods and services online and customers submit credit card info, using an SSL certificate will be a guarantee that the information is protected. Typically a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your Internet site. The additional cost may matter when you manage a small web shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity which doesn't generate a big revenue, so to save you the money, our cloud hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Hosting
You'll be able to use this option with all of our
hosting packages and with any SSL certificate issued from any retailer. If you decide to work with an SSL from our company, everything will be arrange automatically and you will not have to do anything after you purchase and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will enable you to select a shared IP to be used and the SSL to be installed by our system, so using this feature requires a maximum of 2 additional mouse clicks after you fill the required info for the certificate. The adequate functioning of the SSL won't be affected in any way and any data that visitors submit on your website shall be encrypted and protected in the same exact way. The sole difference from using a dedicated address is that http:// will not open your site, but it is extremely unlikely that anyone will ever attempt to access it that way rather than entering your
domain name in the Internet browser URL bar.
