| Use different ports for each Web site |
| If you can't afford to have different IP addresses for each Web site you'll host on your Web server, |
| you'll have to use some tricks. While you can use host headers with normal sites, you can't use host |
| headers with an SSL-enabled site. (This limitation in explained in Microsoft Knowledge Base |
| Work around this issue by using different ports for each Web site. For the first site you would use |
| the default port 443 and do nothing else. Just install the certificate, enable SSL, and off you go. For |
| each additional Web site, you need to change the SSL port after assigning a certificate. |
| Here's how to change the SSL port: |
| Right-click the site and select Properties. |
| On the Web site tab, change the SSL from port 443 to another port. |
| Once you change the SSL to another port, your clients will have to use https://server:<port>, where |
| <port> is the new SSL port. |
| If you don't want clients to manually specify a different port in their requests, you could create a |
| redirection on the original Web site. |
