Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, is a protocol employed to encrypt the data exchanged between a hosting server and its users. The practical application of employing an SSL is to preserve the information which clients submit on your site - a login page, a payment page if you run an online store, etc. Any data they enter in any box on the website will be submitted securely to the server, so their login or payment information will be protected from being accessed by unauthorized individuals. Usually, an SSL certificate needs a dedicated IP address to be set up, which suggests the overall cost for your web presence will be bigger. While this might not be a problem for a larger enterprise, it may matter for a non-profit organization or a small online store which doesn't generate big revenue if additional money should be spent. That is the reason why we have taken advantage of an extension known as Server Name Indication (SNI) and we have made it possible to use a shared server IP address to install an SSL certificate.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Hosting

As we offer SSL certificates with our shared hosting solutions, you can very easily secure your site and use a shared IP address with only a couple of mouse clicks. The option will be available during the order procedure, therefore if you have a dedicated IP address, you'll be able to use it, but if you do not have one and you do not want to pay for this type of a service, you can use the shared IP, that has been set up especially for SSLs. The certificate will work in the exact same way as if it had a dedicated IP address and the only difference will be that if somebody attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they'll not see your site. Given that our system comes with an auto-configuration option, the SSL shall be installed automatically as soon as it is issued, so you will not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. In this way, you can have a risk-free and reliable Internet site without having to spend more money for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host an Internet site within a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you'd like to preserve the info of your visitors, you will be able to use a shared IP address that has been configured for SSL certificates with only several mouse clicks. You can choose this option inside the SSL order wizard which you shall find in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can even pick the certificate to be installed for the given domain or subdomain automatically by our system. In this way everything can be set up for you on the shared IP the moment you approve the SSL. With this service we offer you the chance to protect the information of your website users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encrypt the data in any way. The only big difference from using a dedicated address is that your website won't be accessible if you type the shared IP address instead of the domain/subdomain in the browser address bar.
