That's what just about everybody does.  Not so much because we can't get
IP#s, but because our customers don't want to pay for their own Certs.

The real disadvantage is that files in subdirectories under "web" need
to be world-readable, so if you're not careful how you set it up, your
customers can ftp into their own directory and look into all their
neighbors' directories.
