If there are spammy website using the same IP as mine, would this hurt my website? This is my concern.

In reply to Kristina Tyler. Hey Kristina, As mentioned in the blog post, the SNI technology actually allows installing multiple SSL certificates on a Shared IP address. It is truly correct though that when you accept online payments on your website, having an SSL is a must-have. For a while now, Google has been hard at work warning people when they’re visiting websites that may not be safe. Unless you serve your pages over HTTPS many browsers will begin warning visitors that your site is not secure.

Thanks for writing this article. I am going to be accepting payments on my wesite and I read that an dedicated IP is “A must for accepting online payments through your site” and “Some of your visitors might get a message about untrusted connection if they are using older versions of some browsers or OS. This is a limitation of the SNI technology. To make them feel secure making transactions on your website, you need to use your SSL on a dedicated IP.” What is your opinion on this? Thanks!
