Before I go into too much detail, I'm aware that what's in the subject isn't possible. I've read as such elsewhere and been in a week long discussion with Parallels support trying to get my ticket escalated to someone who can provide me a reasonable workaround that doesn't include giving away free resources just so I can have more than one site with an SSL certificate. To say I'm frustrated would be an understatement. So, here's the scenario I am facing:
Parallels support has suggested multiple times that I create a new subscription under this account per domain I need a static IP on. That has multiple reasons why it won't work including that I'm now giving that client a second plan without charging them for it and secondly that I don't believe that any files will be shared between the two subscriptions which this particular client needed. If we can set aside for a second that it seems completely ridiculous that a shared web hosting panel cannot handle multiple SSL certificates per subscription, I'm left with only one option that I can see - setting the IP address for the sites manually within IIS's configuration. Can anyone comment on whether or not any changes I make that way will actually stay in place or not? I'm guessing not as I imagine Plesk will overwrite those settings eventually. If setting manually won't work, what other options can you guys think of that spares me having to hand out free resources?
Thanks
- client signs up for a plan that provides multiple sites
- two of those sites need to have an SSL certificate and therefore need a static IP
- there is no way to assign more than one static IP to a subscription
