I'm not sure what "piggyback" SSL means, or "unlimited" for that matter — but no matter; it's clear enough that you're not using SSL as a way of getting people to upgrade.
Thanks for clarifying; the pricing page made it seem like you'd need to upgrade to get SSL, hence my rant. I'll edit the parent a bit to make it less hostile. Sorry about the misunderstanding!
You're absolutely right that it's unclear on the pricing page - we still have some polishing to do.
By "piggyback" I mean SSL on your application's default URLs which are of the form FOOBAR.dotcloud.com.
Unlimited means that, no matter how many domains you host on dotCloud, the price remains the same. This is especially generous since, behind the scenes, each new SSL-enabled domain requires a dedicated IP, which costs us an extra $20-$30/month on EC2.

Where does that 20-30$/month come from? Elastic IPs are free when attached to instances..
Load balancer.
