My addition: if you use SNI cert, expect loads of problems. And I don't mean browser support.

Bing wont crawl you, you have to email the support and maybe they manually whitelist you.

A lot of RSS readers wont work, services like pocket, reddit submissions, mailchimp rss to email etc etc.

It's crazy considering we want to move everything to https only.

Add the Hg client to that list.

The amount of software that fails because of SNI is insane. For something that should be done systemwide by a single library, it's also too weird.

Yeah, I suspect it's because of Python 2.7.9

So many things are broken because of it. It doesn't have native SNI capability.

They seem to be doing OK on my site. I've never contacted them.

What's the url of your site, if not a secret? Maybe you're lucky your site is being crawled by the "newer"/updated bots that have SNI capabilities.
I have no idea, but Bing is indexing away! https://www.bing.com/search?q=site%3Abrashear.me
Seems to be getting indexed at least. https://www.bing.com/search?q=site%3Aosteo15.com
