In order to work around the SSL Virtualhost thing, I purchase my
certificates based upon the IP address instead of the hostname. (As an
aside it's also a lot harder to hijack an IP addy than a hostname, so it's
somewhat more secure.)
So, instead of:
https://orders.company1.com
https://orders.company2.com
You'd do:
https://192.168.1.1/company1/orders
https://192.168.1.1/company2/orders
That does mangle things just a little as you can't use a catchy URL, but
it works.
