SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which enciphers the info which clients submit on a website. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they acquire services and goods online and they enter their credit card info, the data shall be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, hence an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the protection of your Internet site and shall make it more inviting to consumers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you have to spend more funds for a dedicated IP address, that's normally required for the SSL installation. In case you have a small e-commerce portal and your budget is limited or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find better use for the capital, you can avoid the additional expense by making use of our services given that our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

When you decide to use an SSL from our company, everything can be arrange automatically and you won't have to do anything after you purchase and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will enable you to choose a shared IP to be used and the SSL to be installed by our system, so using this feature requires no more than two additional mouse clicks after you fill the required information for the certificate.
