> Any host that still requires a dedicated IP for https is woefully out of date.

May be true in a perfect world but this is my web host (bluehost):

>> Note: Since SSL Certificates are Domain/IP specific, you must first Purchase a Dedicated IP before purchasing or having an SSL Certificate installed on your account. They will NOT work with a shared IP address.

I'm pretty sure a lot of other hosting services still go that route.



Bluehost Brasil supports SNI - http://cp.br.bluehost.com/kb/answer/2643

Bluehost US doesn't seem to, as you indicate - https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/473

I'm not sure whether they just don't support SNI yet, or whether they are artificially enforcing this restriction so that they don't have to deal with IE6 not working.


At this point SNI is 10+ years old, hard to have much sympathy for a company that has sat on things that long.
