New 1.7.x MultiSite SSL & Dedi IP Questions. Mod Please

[Billy]

Okay i have been away now for a number of years (Ala 1.6.x). So i need some information on how things work now with SSL and Dedicated IP Addresses.

---

Here is some hosting info on what i presume is a Colo out of Dallas Texas. https://jonesolutions.com/premium-ssd-linux-reseller/

Which offers a "SSD Reseller 30" Jones Solutions account (ala $9.99 a month) which also has "Direct Admin" web control panel and "Free Let's Encrypt SSL".

 

***Note*** I will need to check if PHP 7.3 is available as my present host offers 7.2 & 7.4 but no 7.3 which i wasn't aware of when i signed up. Strange deal on that one.

---

(Question 1) Now with the Free Let's Encrypt SSL and me wanting to build a Presta MultiStore with say 4 very low traveled domain names will i need a dedicated IP address?

(Question 2) How does this work in the new prestashop 1.7.x?

(Off Topic Question 3) I was googling around comparing Prestashop with Magento on hosting specs. It seems that Prestashop has won this battle and that Magento is harder on your hosting/server. Does anyone have any experience in this?

 

Thanks in advance for any info. Best _Bill

I should have also asked if these specific stats from the host will be enough for a very small Presta MultiShop say 200 products at the most

CPU Speed: 2 Full Cores

Ram/Memory: 2 GB

I/O Speed: 30 MB/s

Inodes: 1 Million
