https

Hi

Does the use of Https require it's own Ip adress ?

What are the server prerequisites for running https ?

thanks for any feedback

Not as such. HTTPS is a transport layer protocol (like HTTP, or FTP, or
Telnet or similar). IP addressing is a network layer concept.

You need to install an SSL/TLS certificate on the server. You need to enable
the website to use that certificate.

e.g. see:

Re: https

Unless you are using wildcard certificates, then each SSL protected website
needs to be on a separate IP address. In a hosting situation, there may be
numerous websites on a single server that wish to be SSL/TLS enabled.
Generally you would need a separate IP address for each of those websites.

Your webhosting company is probably using host header hosting
configuration and you may have your own unique ssl certificate. In
this case you would need to request from your hosting company that you
get a hosting plan that has its own IP address.
