Shared SSL IP
Find out what a shared SSL IP is and in what ways you can use one to easily set up an SSL certificate.
SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which encrypts the information that clients submit on an Internet site. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they acquire services and products online and they enter their credit card information, the data will be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, so an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the security of your website and will make it more appealing to customers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you have to spend additional funds for a dedicated IP address, that is normally needed for the SSL installation. In case you manage a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is small or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you could find better use for the funds, you could avoid the added expense by taking advantage of our services given that our cloud web hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

domain within the browser URL bar.
