SSL, which is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol which enciphers the information that clients submit on a website. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they acquire goods and services online and they input their credit card information, the data shall be exchanged with the hosting server in an encrypted form, hence an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the protection of your site and will make it more attractive to consumers, but in addition to the cost for the SSL, you have to spend more funds for a dedicated IP address, which is usually needed for the SSL installation. If you manage a small e-commerce portal and your budget is restricted or you're a part of a non-profit organization and you can find much better use for the capital, you could avoid the additional expense by taking advantage of our services since our cloud hosting platform supports SSL certificates not only on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.
