It's only necessary if you want to use name based virtual hosts with a different SSL certificate for each virtual host. This is most likely the case on a shared hosting provider like godaddy. The problem is that the clients set up the SSL connection before they send the HTTP request (which contains the name of the virtual host), so the server has no way of knowing which certificate it should present to the client. > happy Christmas! :) Happy Christmas indeed! - Pieter
