That much I gathered. Still, it looks like there are are three uses for

Possibly you have confused SSL with SSH (SSL/TLS can in principle be
used for remote login but it’s unusual to do so).

Can a single ssl/tls configuration support all three services?

If all multiple TLS-equipped services same domain name you can use a
single key and certificate for all three of them.

Am I wrong to think of ssl and tls as one thing?

SSL was renamed to TLS in 1999 when TLS 1.0 was introduced. So different
versions of the same thing.

SSH is a different protocol.
