Yes, Soren, you are correct. Back then in 2004 when I replied, this is not possible :)

It is now possible to use host header names with SSL on IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003 SP1. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/596b9108-b1a7-494d-885d-f8941b07554c.mspx?mfr=true

Hi Nat,

SSL doesn't click with host header, hence for each SSL site you need separate IP address.

Cheers.

Is there a workaround here? I bought my own server thinking i would be able to host all parts of my website on it. But if I am understanding the host header/ssl problem correctly, my shopping cart has to be on this maching by itself, and i will have to get a another machine (or keep paying for hosting) for everything else. The problem is I wanted to make the main site dynamic, with web apps like forums and on the fly web page creation so it could be a lot snazzier and more competitive. any suggestions welcome. thanx.

CNAME is just an type of DNS record, if you using A (host) record, it will works too. As long as the name resolution is pointing to the configured IP address specified in the website settings, it should be fine.

Thanks for the help, the CName info is what i've been missing. I don't have a CName for my default website and it works fine. Why do i need one for each additional website i host with IIS 6.0/Win2003
