We are currently have a number of issues with Shared SSL on Win5 which is an IIS5/Windows2000 server. IIS5 seems to have difficulty in distinguishing between HTTPS packets on the same IP address. Therefore on some ocassions, opening a website using "https" may bring up a site of another customer. This is a very serious issue and it seems it is common with IIS5. IIS6 as such requires a dedicated IP otherwise the site would not operate. We thus request all customers using Shared SSL across all our Windows servers to switch their domain to a dedicated IP within the next 48 hours. If we find a domain that is using Shared SSL on a shared IP, we'll be forced to manually switch it for you.
Resellers are requested to pass this message on to their customers
