Customer Support is good. Functionality is pretty meh. You have no SSH, no SCP, no gzip.

We host on EC2 and it's been really cost effective, and everything that we've needed EXCEPT multiple IPs to an instance. each instance can only have one IP, and therefore one SSL certificate (until.....SSL tech in browsers catches up with standards, and TLS is fully adopted in browsers and apache)

This is indeed a problem. The only solutions I've found are to use a wild card certificate if you just need to secure subdomains, or to use a SANS UCC certificate that allows multiple entries into the Subject Alternative Name (not perfect due to cost and the need to reissue the cert every time you add a domain).

Have you found any other workarounds to this problem?

I haven't. Right now, we're trying to figure it out. We work with many FQDNs. I've been talking to a local guy who says that in bulk I could get IPs for $3/mo at his datacenter. The price is good, but I'm then back to managing hardware, which I don't really want to do.
