Ok, thanks. The annoying thing is that I am renting a virtual dedicated server which allows multiple domain names obviously but not multiple IP addresses. Or it probably costs more for that. Do you reckon SSL will ever be available for virtual single IP based hosts?
I believe you can use SSL and name based virtual hosts if you use unique ports for each vhost. I've never done it myself, but I remember reading that somewhere in Apache documentation that it was possible.
Well we are telling exactly this all the time here in this thread :-) But strictly speaking its not "name based" vhost if you use the IP address to determine the vhost. It usually has a name too (and it has to - in order for the certificate to work) And for the hosting provider, dont believe they know all and everything. Been there, seen so much... ;) Regards Tino
