> Digital Ocean, for example, won't give you more than 1 IPv4 address per VPS, which means you need a separate VPS for every side project, if you want to go HTTPS.

As long as you're not supporting clients running IE on WinXP or other similarly old web browsers, Server Name Indication (where the hostname is included as a part of the handshake) will work and it'll eliminate your need for more than one IP.

I just typed a similar comment at nearly the same time but this is interesting to learn. I had no idea XP didn't like this? I know Android 2.2 and older wouldn't take intermediate SSL certs so I've already written off some of my traffic. Now I'll add XP to the group. In fairness, running XP or Android 2.2 now and you have bigger problems than SSL not working...
