You can only have one certificate per hostname. So you need to enter the
FQDN of the host. If you want to use this for all your hosted users, the
URL would need to go to this FQDN. So all your virtual domains would need
to switch to this url when they want SSL.
If you want to have multiple virtual domains with their own certificate, you
need to setup IP based virtual domains. In other words, each virtual domain
would need their own IP address.
