Shared SSL IP
What's a shared SSL IP? How to install an SSL certificate on this kind of an IP?
SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that enciphers the data which customers submit on an Internet site. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they acquire products and services online and they type in their credit card info, the data will be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, which means that an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the protection of your site and will make it more appealing to consumers, but besides the cost for the SSL, you have to spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, that is usually required for the SSL installation. In case you run a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is restricted or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find better use for the money, you can avoid the extra expense by making use of our services due to the fact that our cloud web hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.
