That is outdated information. There are at least two ways to use virtual
hosts with SSL on Apache.
1) Use a wildcard cert. You can use *.somedomain certs to serve multiple
SSL domains on a single IP so long as they fit in the *.somedomain pattern.
2) Use the SNI extension.

Note, however, that SNI does not work with older version of MSIE.
