Shared SSL IP

Learn how you will be able to install an SSL certificate without the need of a dedicated IP thanks to our Shared SSL IPs.

If you would like to protect the data that visitors submit on your site, you'll need an SSL certificate. The abbreviation stands for Secure Sockets Layer and this is a protocol used to encrypt any info exchanged between an Internet site and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any data, they'll not be able to read or use it in any way. The existing level of encryption makes it literally impossible to decrypt the authentic content, and so if you have a login form of some sort or you offer goods and services online and customers submit credit card details, using an SSL certificate will be a guarantee that the info is protected. Typically a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your Internet site. The additional expense may matter in case you run a small online store, a non-profit organization or any other entity that does not generate a big profit, so to save you the funds, our cloud website hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

: Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The shared IP address option is available with all Linux semi-dedicated packages and the setup takes only 2 mouse clicks within the hosting CP regardless if you buy an SSL from our enterprise or via a third-party vendor. There shall not be any difference in terms of how the certificate operates or encrypts the info which your visitors submit, so your Internet site will be protected without spending the extra money for a dedicated IP. The only thing which will be different is that https://the-shared-IP will not open your Internet site, unlike https://the-dedicated-IP, but it's highly unlikely that anybody shall ever try to access your site in this way rather than inputting your domain name. In addition, we offer an auto-configuration option for the SSLs purchased through our company and if you select it and you opt to use a shared IP address rather than a dedicated one, our system will set everything up the minute the SSL is approved and issued without the need for any action on your end.
