If you'd like to protect the information that visitors submit on your website, you'll need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation refers to Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol employed to encrypt any information exchanged between a site and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any information, they'll not be able to read or use it in any way. The existing level of encryption makes it pretty much impossible to decrypt the authentic content, so if you have a login form of some type or you offer products and services online and customers submit credit card details, using an SSL certificate shall be an assurance that the info is protected. Typically a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your website. The additional cost may matter in case you manage a small online shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity which doesn't generate a big income, so to save you the cash, our cloud web hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

: Shared SSL IP in Cloud Hosting

You could use a shared IP address for an SSL certificate with each and every cloud hosting package that we offer and regardless if the SSL is acquired through us or through a third-party business. If the SSL is bought on our end, not only will you be able to choose the shared IP to be set during the order, but you could also pick our auto-configuration option, so when you complete the purchase and approve the certificate, our system shall set it up for you within a matter of seconds and you'll not need to do anything manually. The sole difference between employing a shared IP address and a dedicated one is that your Internet site won't appear if you try to open https://the-IP-address instead of https://your-domain-name, but aside from that, everything will be the same. With this feature you'll be able to protect the data of your clients and have a reliable site without the added expense for a dedicated IP.
