SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encodes the info which clients submit on an Internet site. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they buy services and products online and they enter their credit card information, the data shall be exchanged with the server in an encrypted form, so an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the protection of your Internet site and will make it more attractive to clients, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you must spend more money for a dedicated IP address, that's normally needed for the SSL installation. If you manage a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is limited or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you could find far better use for the money, you can avoid the additional expense by taking advantage of our services since our cloud web hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

The SSL order wizard will permit you to select a shared IP address to be used and the SSL to be set up by our system, so using this function requires a maximum of 2 additional clicks after you fill the necessary data for the certificate.
