SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that enciphers the info which users submit on a website. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they buy goods and services online and they type in their credit card info, the data will be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, consequently an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the protection of your site and will make it more attractive to clients, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you must spend more funds for a dedicated IP address, that is normally required for the SSL installation. In case you run a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is small or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find far better use for the money, you can avoid the extra expense by taking advantage of our services due to the fact that our cloud website hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.
