SSL certificate without the need for an IP address?

Adz, unfortunately, this is Fasthosts we are talking about. They are very reluctant to do anything to help. The reseller forum has a long thread from customers complaining that they are very limited as to the types of sites they can host. Fasthosts replied 12 months saying they were looking into it and nothing else has been done.

Surely they can't use a wildly different setup to everyone else?

Well, I have had a good scout round and we can't really match Fasthosts for the package we get for the price. Unfortunately, they do not do any dedicated IP's on any package (except dedicated servers). E.g., this is their Reseller package:
http://www.fasthosts.co.uk/resellers/pricing/

The shared hosting wouldn't be sufficient for a couple of reasons - our clients would definately not want to have the shared space used on their sites. Secondly, I like to use Linux webspace, and the shared SSL space is hosted on Windows regardless of what package you choose.

We have just bought a dedicated server from Fasthosts, but it throws up its own range of problems that I won't go into here. But yes, i'm sure they have lost some business and annoyed a number of customers over it - however, complaining gets you nowhere as they are too big to be bothered about true customer service.

Even the package you point out has shared SSL space only. They simply do not offer it :( And yes, they charge for MySQL on everything.

I guess we will stick to the dedicated server for the time being. Shame the control panel is so poor (Matrix control panel). Should be able to install something like Webmin though I guess.
