Https:// loading to a different website

This is quite normal issue, when a website is not having a SSL Certificate installed, then by accessing https:// Apache/Litespeed is showing the first domain from it's list that's having a SSL Certificate installed on the IP that the users domain is also, is not a error, glitch or a problem.

A way around this is to tell the client to install a SSL Certificate on the domain, can even make a self-signed one, then you will access your website via https:// it will show proper content (however with self-signed certificates they will get a untrusted certificated warning on most browsers).
