So happy to see SSL support finally here, but a bit disappointed. VIP seems the way to go, but at $99 per month, it is cost prohibitive for some of our apps. So, I am asking for feedback from others who have implemented SNI. From my understanding, there are still many visitors with older browsers who will not be able to use it. Is that correct?
Looking at recent stats, we have 16% of our visitors with IE 6 or 7. And an astounding 43% with XP or previous versions of Windows. Not to mention those with Safari/Win, or older Android OS. What will these visitors see when they try to access an SNI-SSL page? Any problems/issues encountered with SNI implementations? Older browsers? International visitors? Frankly, at $108/year PLUS the certificate, even SNI-SSL is expensive. But $1200/year, plus cert, for VIP is not feasible for smaller apps. (IMO, $108/year should cover virtual IP). Sticking with our appspot URLs for SSL until this is ready for prime time. We are not willing to abandon even a small single-digit percentage of our users. Also, I recently was told that some search engines use the IP address in page ranking. Shared IPs are penalized. Had not heard that before, and not sure that is accurate, as a majority of sites are on shared-IPs. Your feedback greatly appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
