    You'll still need SNI support if you want them on the same IP, though. And I don't think that's supported in IIS 7, or it is but it's a workaround involving installing Apache (https://www.orderfactory.com/article...s-2008-R2.html).
    That's the conclusion I've come to as well. Might be time to push for a server upgrade to Win2k12 (or rationalise my URL's to one domain and put the cert on that).

    Or switch to Linux hosting? Is there a reason you're sticking with Windows?

    Custom VBScript website with an SQL database back end packed full of views, functions and stored procs I'm pretty much tied to Windows without re-engineering 11 years of website development.

    Though admittedly I am going to have to do that at some point as ASP/VBScript is a little dated now...
