Virtual servers is another technical justification for assigning multiple IP addresses to a single physical server. ISPs should really make it clear to their customers which features are included in a product and which ones are not. There is no reason why you could not have offered a "web hosting" product with no SSL capability at one price point and a "secure web hosting" product with SSL at another pricepoint. What is the point in leaving things vague? And if you look at this template http://www.arin.net/registration/templates/net-isp.txt updated in September, it no longer mentions web hosting. --Michael Dillon
