To be able to access web2py's admin online I had a dedicated IP address at WebFaction, and referenced admin with a subdomain: admin.mydomain.com. A few weeks ago I changed accounts and when I asked for a dedicated IP address they answered:
The connection using SNI is just as strong as a normal SSL connection except that the domain is sent in cleartext. If you are not using a really old browser/OS combination you can just use SNI instead of getting a dedicated IP. Is anybody using SNI to access web2py's admin, how does it work, and how do I set it up? Kind regards, Annet
