No it doesn't. You can use multi-domain certificates. Works like a charm.

Also, I talked to GlobalSign recently, and they had a brand new solution that used SNI with an automatic fallback to multi-domain certificate for browsers that don't support SNI.

multi-domain certs are brittle, because you have to keep them up to date with all the domains you're serving.

That doesn't make them brittle, it does make updating them a potential single point of failure. But that goes for multiple things if you're working from one single IP address, so accounting for those is part of the tradeoff.
