[users@httpd] SSL Web Sites
Dear List,
Our company has a FreeBSD server that wants to dedicate for web services (of
course running Apache)
My boss have asked me about how many web sites using SSL can we host in the
server (CPU 1.26MHZ and 1 Gig of RAM)
I know that the answer depends of the kind of web site, its traffic, etc
Knowing that SSL is highly CPU-intensive and causes major performance strain
on Web servers, I just want to hear if someone has a least some rough data
regarding of amount of SSL web sites a server can host.
Mario

As far as I know, that is correct. But for a number of years I've hosted
small companies at www.xyz.com but the SSL page was herbstein.com/xyz and no
one has felt strongly enough that they wanted to spend $125/year or whatever
to get their own cert.
I'd give them the IP address but they don't seem to care. YMMV.

The number of SSL sites you can run on one server is not only limited to
your system specifications. A more likely limitation is the number of
IP-addresses. "Name-based" virtual hosts doe not work for ssl sites, they
have to be IP-based. Bascially this means that you can have only one SSL
website per IP-address pointing to your company's FreeBSD box.
