There's also the possibility that you can use multiple subdomains. Instead of
https://foo.com
https://bar.com
You might use
https://foo.yourdomain.com
https://bar.yourdomain.com
This involves the use of a wildcard subdomain certificate, which any/all of the
major Certificate vendors provide. I've been doing this for hundreds of
customers by domain name and it works with basically all clients all the time.
(I've had ZERO issues from this) It's a tad more expensive than a "normal" SSL
certificate, but it's dramatically cheaper than buying a separate SSL
certificate for each client, and reduces certificate administration to a SINGLE
httpd.conf entry. (if your application is structured thusly)
