What's Up?

OK, So I'm trying to get the hosts file to redirect you upon visiting a certain site, Simple enough? Well no, My subdomain uses a shared IP, Which means if you pinged my website and then attempted to go there via the address bar, You get a 404 page. I have tried making a no-ip host that automaticlly redirects you to my site, But just with my subdomain, You can go to your site via the IP in the address bar.

In short how can I get a dedicated IP'd subdomain?

Thanks Bye!

I'm positive. I've set up wildcard certificates a number of times on machines with a single IP address.

The key thing to know is that the CommonName in the certificate must match the ServerName of site being accessed. In the case of a wildcard cert, it will match any third-level name as long as the second-level domain is the same, hence "wildcard". It's not that a certificate can only work for one name, period -- it's that the name on the cert can only match one ServerName at a time. Wildcards work around that limitation within a single top-level domain.
