[CentralOH] WSGI Friendly Hosting

[Mark Erbaugh]

Issac,

Thanks for the information.  I have one website for a volunteer non-profit where we sometimes need to submit the applicant's personal information. The only thing in that process that isn't public information is the SSN.  I've donated the hosting but didn't want to pay the extra if I didn't have to.

If I do buy a static IP address and SSL certificate for a single domain, would it be possible to maintain multiple non-secure domains that link to webpages under the secure domain when they need secure transfers, or would that be a lot of work to save $4 a month?

My problem is HTTPS.  According to the Dreamhost docs, to add HTTPS, I need to obtain a static IP address from them which is $4/month additional. Currently, my monthly bill is only $8/month, so that's a 50% increase. Also, the HTTPS would only apply to one domain. I currently run several websites using a sub domain and it looks like I'd have to get static IP addresses for each of them (another $4/month) if I wanted HTTPS.
