i've tried to switch all my websites to HTTPS and start always using https:// when linking to them, but than having only single IP on the VPS which a friend made available to me, i've realized that some people who may like to see those sites still use windows xp, which has problems with SNI, as well as some other platform/browser combinations [1]

if you or anyone here have by any chance some tips on how to deal with this limitation i would appreciate any pointers!
