I am struck by the irony of juxtaposing this with the fact that Azure Websites still charges the (in my opinion outrageously steep) price of $39 per month per certificate for non-SNI cert support. Maybe it's not that ironic, but it is still striking.
- ComputerGuru 11y agoCompared to CloudFront's $600/month?
- ceejayoz 11y agoThe $600/month becomes pretty reasonable when you understand what's going on behind the scenes. There are 53 CloudFront edge locations, each of which needs to reserve at least one IP address for your SSL cert's exclusive use.
- cmircea 11y agoAs opposed to CloudFlare providing an SSL certificate for each IP and adding your domain name to the SAN list for $20 a month. That seems like a better option as a fallback when SNI is not available.
- ceejayoz 11y agoThere are downsides to that approach, like when TedCruz.org shared an SSL with nigerian-prince.com for their donation page.
