Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, is a protocol employed to encode the data exchanged between a server and its users. The practical application of employing an SSL is to protect the information that clients submit on your website - a login page, a payment page if you run an online store, and so forth. Any data they input in any box on the website shall be submitted securely to the server, so their login or payment information will be protected from being accessed by unauthorized individuals. Typically, an SSL certificate needs a dedicated IP address to be installed, meaning that the overall cost for your web presence will be higher. While this might not exactly be an issue for a larger company, it might matter for a non-profit organization or a small web store that doesn't generate big revenue if additional money should be spent. That's the reason why we've taken advantage of an extension called Server Name Indication (SNI) and we've made it possible to use a shared server IP address to install an SSL certificate.

Shared SSL IP in Web Hosting

Since we offer SSL certificates with our web hosting solutions, you can very easily secure your website and use a shared IP address with only a few mouse clicks. The option shall be available during the order process, therefore if you have a dedicated IP, you could 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, which has been set up especially for SSLs. The certificate shall work in the same exact way as if it had a dedicated IP and the one difference will be that if anyone tries to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your website. Since our system includes an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be set up automatically the moment it is issued, so you shall not have to do anything on your end after you approve it. This way, you could have a risk-free and reliable site without spending extra cash for that.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host a site inside a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company and you wish to secure the data of your site visitors, you will be able to use a shared IP that has been configured for SSL certificates with just several mouse clicks. You can choose this option in the SSL order wizard which you will find inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you could even select the certificate to be set up for the particular domain name or subdomain automatically by our system. In this way everything can be set up for you on the shared IP as soon as you approve the SSL. With this service we grant you the chance to preserve the data of your Internet site users at no additional cost and without affecting the way the SSL shall encode the info in any way. The one big difference from using a dedicated address is that your Internet site will not be accessible if you enter the shared IP as opposed to the domain/subdomain inside the Internet browser address bar.
