Shared SSL IP
Discover how you'll be able to install an SSL certificate devoid of a dedicated IP by using our Shared SSL IPs.
Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, is a protocol used to encode the information exchanged between a hosting server and its users. The practical application of using an SSL is to secure the information that clients submit on your Internet site - a login page, a payment page if you run an Internet store, and so on. Any information they type in in any box on the Internet site will be submitted safely to the server, so their login or payment information will be protected from being accessed by unauthorized people. Normally, an SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address to be set up, which implies the overall cost for your online presence will be higher. While this might not exactly be a problem for a larger firm, it may matter for a non-profit organization or a small online store which doesn't generate big earnings if additional money should be spent. This is the reason why we've taken advantage of an extension known as Server Name Indication (SNI) and we have made it possible to use a shared server IP address to install an SSL certificate.
