SNI prevents what's known as a "common name mismatch error": when a client (user) device reaches the right IP address for a website, but the name on the SSL certificate doesn't match the name of the website. Often this kind of error results in a "Your connection is not private" ...
SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, was the original security protocol developed for HTTP. SSL was replaced by TLS, or Transport Layer Security, some time ago. SSL handshakes are now called TLS handshakes, although the "SSL" name is still in wide use. Whitepaper Maximize the power of TLS Get ...
If the server does not support SNI, only the default SSL Certificate will be served up. If the client does not support SNI, they will only see the default site’s certificate. If the server and client support SNI, the correct certificate is served up each time. Pretty much all modern ...
Fortunately, there is a better way to implement SSL encryption in the form of Server Name Indication (SNI). What is SNI? SNI is an extension of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. It solves a very important problem regarding the nature of how sites are served over HTTPS. Hosting...

A dedicated IP is an address that only your website uses. Learn what its benefits are, and how to get one from your hosting.
SNI stands for Server Name Indication and is an extension of the TLS protocol. It indicates which hostname is being contacted by the browser at the beginning of the handshake process. This technology allows a server to connect multiple SSL Certificates to one IP address and gate. ...
SNI allows the client computer to inform the target domain earlier in the protocol, and this allows the server to correctly select the proper certificate.What value does this change add?This additional functionality:Allows you to host multiple SSL websites on a single IP and port combination ...
