Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, is a protocol used to encode the info exchanged between a hosting server and its users. The practical application of using an SSL is to secure the information which visitors submit on your Internet site - a login page, a payment page if you run an Internet store, and so on. Any data they enter 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. In general, an SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address to be set up, which suggests the overall cost for your online presence shall be higher. While this may not be an issue for a larger company, it might matter for a non-profit organization or a small web store which doesn't generate big income if additional money should be spent. That's the reason why we've taken advantage of an extension known as 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 Semi-dedicated Servers

You'll be able to use a shared IP for an SSL acquired through us or through any other retailer with any one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans. The setup is really simple and if you get the certificate from our company, you could also take advantage of our SSL wizard where with merely several clicks you'll be able to pick the SSL to be installed automatically for the specific domain name or subdomain on the shared IP that is configured to be employed for this particular purpose. This option shall save you time and work considering that you'll not need to do anything after you approve the SSL via e mail, not mentioning the money you'll save for the IP address on a monthly basis. Your site will be secure and any client will feel certain that their data shall be protected given that using a shared IP address doesn't influence the adequate operation of the certificate and the only difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP cannot be used as a URL to access your website.
