Question
Multiple SSL websites with differtent certificates on one droplet (LAMP setup)
- Posted on July 7, 2014
Asked by marcel
I was searching for multiple IPs connected to one droplet to enable SSL but then read that this would not be nessecary and that there would be coming a guide on how to setup SSL for multiple domains on one droplet.
I have an apache webserver, also virtualmin installed. I would like to have SSL (different certificates) for 2 virtual servers on this droplet.
Is this possible, and if yes, how would I set this up?

One (major) disadvantage of using SNI is the fact that it is not supported by Windows XP.
Although XP is end-of-life it is broadly used (especially in large enterprises) and still has a market share of more than 25%: Wikipedia: OS Market Share
This means if you run a web shop etc. you will kick out one quarter (!) of potential customers…
The only (but little bit more expensive) way to serve all browsers is to use a multi-domain SSL certificate. It allows you to include multiple host names (up to 100) in one single cert: Multi-Domain (SAN) SSL Certificates
If you use a self-signed certificate just for testing or a private box, just add your domain names as SAN (Sunject Alternative Name) when creating your CSR.
Thank you!
