Not really, but you can't have more than one SSL web site on the same IP
address / port number.

$ dig a www.mercatortrading.nl

; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> a www.mercatortrading.nl

www.mercatortrading.nl. 86245   IN      CNAME   www.profibas.com.
www.profibas.com.       86245   IN      A       80.69.81.32

If these were on HTTP (port 80) or different IPs you could do it.

You'll find plenty of refs on the Internet for the whys of this, but in
short it doesn't work for SSL.
