Hi

It *is* now possible to have multiple HTTPS sites on one IP address and
port 443 by putting multiple domain names into one certificate as
SubjectAltNames, see the CAcert wiki for more info:

  http://wiki.cacert.org/wiki/VhostTaskForce

There is a bash script you can use on that page for generating a csr, of
course all the TLDs have to have been registered with CAcert before you
start. There are a few things to watch out for also, you can't use
ServerAliases (each domain names needs a seperate VirtualHost) and the
CommonName has to be repeated as a SubjectAltName.
