Shared SSL IP
Discover what a shared SSL IP is and just how you can use one to promptly put in place an SSL certificate.
SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which enciphers the info that clients submit on a website. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they buy services and goods online and they enter their credit card info, the data will be exchanged with the 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 safety of your Internet site and shall make it more inviting to customers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you have to spend more funds for a dedicated IP address, which is usually required for the SSL installation. In case you run a small e-commerce portal and your budget is restricted or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you could find far better use for the money, you can avoid the additional expense by making use of our services given that our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.
