I know that the upstream provider often provides services added to new releases as updates to the current release. My question is how can I get multiple secure web sites on a single IP address and port? Has the upstream provider added this function to the current server?
I've found this rather straightforward to do, as long as all sites are covered by the same certificate. Remember that the encrypted tunnel is negotiated and activated prior to the request being sent - so when the certificate and keys are being managed, the vhost is as yet unknown. Having all sites covered by one certificate makes that problem go away :-)
So my advice is to use a wildcard domain covering *.mycompany.com - but remember that mycompany.com does not match *.mycompany.com, so you'll need a redirect to www.mycompany.com....

PS Just realised that we did this on nginx not apache, but I really don't expect that to be a problem.
