I was just trying to point out that the cost increases linearly and nowhere near $50/domain/yr.
I was just trying to point out that the cost increases linearly and nowhere near $50/domain/yr. Besides, it was your choice to get a dozen different domains and create a bunch of subdomains on them, instead of, say, subdirectories. You should have been fully aware of the costs and limitations of existing protocols and market conditions when you did that. It's also entirely your choice whether or not to support non-SNI clients. Some of us stopped supporting IE8/XP a long time ago, some of us keep supporting it at a significant cost (often many thousands of dollars). Either way, it's your choice. Every choice has pros and cons to it. No use complaining about it because you happened to choose a less widely supported and more costly option. Hell, I'd love to get a thousand different domains and an entire /20 for personal use. Why should I pay $10K/yr for my preferences? If you don't want to pay for overpriced certificates on your gazillion subdomains, just don't. Consolidate your domains and subdomains, or at least consolidate the parts that need SSL. It's as simple as that. If nobody ever fell for the wildcard and/or multidomain certificate racket, CAs would have to price their products more competitively. Stop whining and start voting with your wallet, it's the only vote that matters.

You're right, but until the laws change we should be telling everyone how and make these tools better.
I worked in this industry as a software developer.
