I'd not heard of SNI before. Is this something that can be used now?!



Yes ... as long as you don't need to support IE on XP, Android 2.x, or Java 6.

That's still a lot of devices.


Neither of those browsers supports HTTP/2.0, so that's moot.


> IE on XP

In this case, that's also going away hard next year when Microsoft discontinues support for Windows XP. At that point it'd be really tempting to suggest switching to Firefox or Chrome, both of which do support SNI.
