SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that enciphers the information that customers submit on an Internet site. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they buy services and products online and they input their credit card details, the data will be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, which means that an unauthorized third-party shall not able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the security of your site and shall make it more appealing to consumers, but besides the cost for the SSL, you need to spend extra money for a dedicated IP address, that is normally needed for the SSL installation. If 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 capital, you'll be able to avoid the additional expense by making use of our services due to the fact that our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.
