I believe the only justification for the process is a SSL certificate. In the past, it was "pay 1.00 and get 1 extra IP, automatic, no questions asked." I understand why Linode follows that procedure. I just miss the old days. I have to be more careful about cross porting, cross data, cross domains, and hosts which can't access anything but port 80. I used to just follow the principle of website x, y, z on port 80 on IP1, website a, b on port 80 on IP2. Luckily, digital ocean basically sells ips for $5/pop.
