Nothing big, but kinda interesting. I’m excited to see how this will go 👀

Yeah, I thought I implied that, but that was the reason SNI started - IPv4 is a scarce resource and thus expensive and the only way to host multiple https websites was having multiple IPs (not necessarily multiple servers, you can easily have multiple IPs for one server, you just had to bind one IP per host), which was adding to the costs quite a bit and hobby projects couldn’t really afford it (well, they could, but not many people are spending hundreds of dollars for a hobby website).
@rikudou
Yes, but binding one IP per host is what some web servers can’t do, they bind globally and forward accordingly
Unless I missed it, that’s always a possibility
ie httpd can’t do it (at least back then) while nginx can
Which translates to reconfiguration of the entire infra to replace one server with another, and that’s also a cost
