    As it is possible with ISP Config on for example 192.168.1.1 several SSL certificate provides for each particular domain.


    or is it force-turn necessarily for each SSL certificat its own IP to have?

    SLL Problem

    it is a problem from SSL, that SSL needs a unique IP for EVERY Certificate. This means ONE IP <-> ONE SSL Domain. This is the standard (100% sure)

    i know, that there exists some (expensive) Certificates you can use on one shared IP. This means ONE IP <> MORE SSL Domains. But this is ONE Cetrificate which contains many "SSL-Domains" (not 100% sure, but i mean this is the case)

    You can have only one SSL web site per IP address, it's a limitation of the https protocol.
    If you need more than one SSL web site, you need additional IP addresses.

    sorry if i correct you, but i have read, that you can have 1 certificate with several domain-names at 1 IP! this is possible, but expensive
    (have a look at this it is called multi domain certificate)

    Yes, possible, but not supported by all browsers and not supported by all Certificate Authorities, so you're not able to buy such a certificate from any provider. And in general I have to say this is a bad idea. It bypasses the objective of SSL security to authenticate a website properly. Another restriction IIRC is that it's only for hostnames, so *.domain.tld is supported, not *.*.tld.
