Hello all. I have a few questions regarding name-based hosting as opposed to having an IP for each site. I would like to hear from the people who know the facts, not just assumptions or "I've heard that..." I need to be able to assure customers that an IP is not a neccessity unless they need SSL. I'm sure others can benefit from this knowledge as well.
1. What are the disadvantages of having a name-based site? 2. How many domains can be hosted on a single IP address? 3. Are there any situations other than SSL that would require an IP address?
Thanks in advance for clearing up the above issues.
