    OR

  • You wish to make changes to the domain name for which you have issued a Digital Certificate. This could be because of the following reasons:

    • Incorrect host name filled in when the Key/CSR pair was generated on the server (For example, the Private Key/CSR pair was generated on the server for secure.yourdomain.com but domain name being secured is shoppingcart.yourdomain.com).

    • Host name changes, provided that the top-level domain name remains the same (For example, the Certificate was requested for secure.yourdomain.com but the secure area is now being moved to shopping.yourdomain.com).
