SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encrypts the info that customers submit on an Internet site. If they enter a username and a password on a login page or they acquire services and goods online and they type in their credit card info, the data will be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, thus an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will heighten the safety of your site and shall make it more inviting to consumers, but besides the cost for the SSL, you must spend extra money 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 restricted 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 taking advantage 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.
