Re: Shared Hosting

One little-discussed 'gotcha' of SNI is that, unexpectedly to the user who's been told 'no one can see

what you're browsing with https' ... with SNI they can. Because SNI isn't sent encrypted.

This gets significant when you, say, live in Iran and want to visit 'www.how-to-become-a-christian.org', (or in USA and want to visit 'diy.nuke.designs.nk')
