Shared SSL Certificates Each one of our servers has an SSL certificate which we share free of charge with you.

A unique IP address is a pre-requisite for your own SSL certificate and both will be setup on the same day of purchase. Our SSL certificates are compatible with 99% of browsers including Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and Opera.
