I recall reading that ARIN was preferring the use of hostname based virtual
websites over IP based, however I can't find that wording on ARIN's site.

Anyone have points to it?

I believe they withdrew that when it was pointed out that it breaks SSL
badly.

They suspended that until further notice. They might prefer
name-based hosting, but they don't require it.

Hello Matthew,

I recall reading that ARIN was preferring the use
of hostname based virtual websites over IP based,
however I can't find that wording on ARIN's site.

In early 2001 a policy proposal regarding name-based
web hosting gained consensus at an ARIN public policy
meeting and resulted in the ratification of a new
policy.

In July of 2001 this policy was reviewed and overturned.

ARIN does not currently have a policy that requires the
use of hostname based virtual web hosting.
