Do we need to reissue SSL certificates when moving servers

in Help

In the coming weeks i am thinking of migrating from a vps to a dedicated server.My site uses SSL and i was wondering whether i would have to reissue certificates or just backup everything including certs to be restored later

    Yes you will. SSL csrs are IP based.

    Last time, I'm having an SSL certificate and key moved the new server, and it's still working. As long as the key is match.

    Um. Take your private key and certificate with you. Nothing needs to be re-issued. The only caveat to that is if your certificates were freebies from your VPS provider and they specifically state you can only use them on their services.

    My wildcard SSL cert worked when I moved servers.

    @ErawanArifNugroho

    Your reply is such a relief ..... reissue is PITA

    @derp
    No my ssl cert is not a freebie ...its PositiveSSL from namecheap

    SSL Certs are not IP based. all that needs moving is the following 3 items when moving a SSL Across servers.

    1, SSL Certificate
    2, Private Key
    3, CA Bundle.

    Same to most of you here, I do not need to reissue for my wildcard ssls when using among servers/IPs. Just take both private key, certificate and ca bundle files along with you :-)

    Thanks to all of you here :)

    This has cleared all my doubts and i hope it helps people :)

    Take your private key, CBA and certificate with you and you do not have to re-issue, depending on whats happening with the old server just remember to delete your keys before the DC get the machine back into use (for a dedi).
