One.com uses SNI in order to sell SSL-enabled websites for somewhere around $2.5/month.
Edit: We have around 1.-something million websites, though I don't know how many of those have SSL enabled.
(Disclosure: I happen to work there.)
- smw 12y agoWhy is it impossible to buy web hosting from you without buying or transferring a domain?
- msiebuhr 12y agoI believe it is possible, if you beg the support enough. I do know we strongly discourage it though, as it makes some parts of shared hosting hard for us; ex. quickly move your website to another IP in case of a DDoS attack.
- msiebuhr 12y agoAfter re-reading it a few days later, I realize it reads a lot like advertisement. Some technical stuff wrt. SNI: We waited a long time for the SNI-support to be widespread enough for us to provide to the customers. Despite we have a lot of users in the 'mom-and-pops' demographic, which typically tend to have older equipment, I'm not aware of widespread complaints about it. It also turned out that most webservers can't handle being loaded with a few thousand SSL-certificates... Finally, we were somewhat nervous about the rumored 'SSL/TLS has lots of CPU usage', but it didn't turn out to be an issue AFAIK.
