Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, is a protocol used to encrypt the info exchanged between a web server and its users. The practical application of using an SSL is to protect the info that visitors submit on your website - a login page, a payment page if you run an Internet store, and so forth. Any info they input in any box on the website shall be submitted safely to the server, so their login or payment data shall be protected from being accessed by unauthorized individuals. Normally, an SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address to be set up, which implies the overall cost for your web presence shall be higher. While this might not be a problem for a larger firm, it may matter for a non-profit organization or a small web store which does not generate big earnings if additional money should be spent. This is the key reason why we have taken advantage of an extension referred to as 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 Shared Website Hosting
As we offer SSL certificates with our shared website hosting packages, you can easily secure your website and use a shared IP address with only a few clicks. The option shall be available during the order procedure, hence if you have a dedicated IP address, you could use it, but if you don't have one and you do not want to pay for this sort of a service, you can use the shared IP, which has been set up particularly for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the same exact way as if it had a dedicated IP and the only difference shall be that if anyone tries to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your website. Since our system features an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be set up automatically as soon as it is issued, so you will not need to do anything on your end after you approve it. That way, you can have a secure and reliable site without having to spend more money for that.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you host a website in a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you'd like to secure the information of your website visitors, you'll be able to use a shared IP address that has been configured for SSL certificates with only a few mouse clicks. You can choose this option within the SSL order wizard that you will find in the Hepsia hosting CP and you could even pick the certificate to be set up for the given domain name or subdomain automatically by our system. This way everything could be set up for you on the shared IP the minute you approve the SSL. With this service we offer you the opportunity to preserve the information of your website users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL will encrypt the info in any way. The only main difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site shall not accessible if you enter the shared IP address instead of the domain/subdomain within the browser address bar.
