Good afternoon everyone,
This is my first post here. I was wondering if someone could clear my mind about this.
I have a dedicated server with a single ip address assigned to it. I want to host couple of site which are hosted somewhere else and they have signed certificates. Now I want to host them all on this single server.
Is it possible to bound more than one cert to a single IP based apache server and host multiple virtual directories?
I did a research on line and found couple answers which are all confusing me.
One suggested that I need to get additional ip's and assign different sites to it. (Not a very practical solution)
Other one says we can use the same cert and ip but have secondary host on different port number than default. Something likes https://www.abc.com https://www.abc.com/ and https://www.def.com:444 https://www.def.com:444/ and so on. But this will cause people a warning regarding the certificate error on second path, is that correct?
Some one suggested a wild card certificate but how can I do that since dedicated server name is a.dedicated.hostingcompany.com and I need to generate certificates covering *.abc.com and *.def.com
Would someone kindly clear my mind on this issue?
