If you want 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 encode any info exchanged between a website and its users as to guarantee that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any data, they'll not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it virtually impossible to decrypt the real content, thus 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 data is protected. Typically a dedicated IP address is needed to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your site. The additional cost may matter if you manage a small online store, a non-profit organization or any other entity which doesn't make a big revenue, so to save you the money, our cloud web hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Due to the fact that we offer SSL certificates with our cloud website hosting solutions, you can effortlessly secure your Internet site 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 can use it, but if you do not have one and you do not want to pay for this sort of a service, you can use the shared IP, which has been set up particularly for SSLs. The certificate will work in the very same way as if it had a dedicated IP address and the one difference will be that if somebody attempts to open the IP address as a URL, they won't see your site. Due to the fact that our system includes an auto-configuration option, the SSL will be set up automatically as soon as it is issued, so you will not need to do anything on your end after you approve it.
