Can SSL certificates be moved when migrating from one hosting provider to another?

Yes, you can swiftly move your SSL certificates when planning to make a switch as SSL certificates are allied with your domain name and not with that of your hosting provider. However, the certificate is required to be for the similar domain name on the new server. Prior commencing the process, it is recommended to take a backup of your SSL certificate and private key. Thereafter, you need to generate a new CSR and install it on your new server.

Iґve just purchased my own secure certificate and want to install it.

I have Open SSL already functioning for the shared certificate and can see 3 directories

ssl.crt
ssl.csr
ssl.key

So now I have 2 certificates to install, a my own private certificate and b the Intermediate certificate from the issuer.

What goes where and do I just overwrite the contents of the certificates already in those directories or upload new files.

Obviously very new to this and only got this far reading help files but they dont actually help you through the install process, just get you this far.

Advice appreciated

Our PCI compliance scan shows both our active certificate with GeoTrust the one we use, and a shared certificate. Any way to get rid of the shared certificate? Well never use it.
