The way I have seen it done in the past (and have done it myself) was
register an SSL certificate for the host site on the server, and then put
sym-link directories under that main host site's web directory leading to
the customer's web directory. You have to edit the httpd.conf to allow
following symlinks. Like Arthur mentioned, the URL looks like"
https://www.themainhostsite.com/thecustomersdomain/
where "thecustomersdomain" is a symlink to their "web" directory. The
customer just has to make sure there are no absolute URLs on their site for
images, etc. so the customer doesn't get a message about mixed security
levels. Instead of /index.html they would use ../index.html or whatever it
took to get them back to the index page without breaking their links.
It's not rocket science.

To my knowledge, you can share it if they are all on the same ip,
however for any domain that is not the same as the primary domain the
cert itself was setup for, they will get the message that essentially
implies that they "possibly" be having their traffic hi jacked. After
the accept it (if they do permanently), it will no longer state that.
Unless there is something else out there now I may not be aware of....
