Cpanel Update

[SMARTDODO]

Hi Heliohost / Helionet

 

I would like to request for heliohost to update cPanel to 11.38 and above.

 

The reason is simple : Server Name Indication (SNI).

 

This will allow many people to use SSL on shared ip addresses , but only on modern addresses. Still , this is a good feature to talk about.

 

I hope the mods will consider it . Thank you!

 

Regards

SMARTDODO

This was asked about a while back. I forget what happened, but I remember a discussion about SNI not being properly supported by a large chunk of browsers used to access our service.

Cloudflare's blog had a discussion about that last month.

You only need IE7 or higher, Firefox 2 or higher, Opera 8 or higher, Safari 3 or higher.

So really anything from the last 7 years or so works.

Or Chrome (v6+ if used on Windows XP). If you're using IE on Windows XP it won't work, but you've got bigger issues (e.g. sitting duck for malware). There's no good reason to be using IE on XP.

 

There really isn't any reason to not support it nowadays seeing every major browser supports it properly on Windows Vista and newer.
