Asked by Waqas Munir
I already have signed SSL certificate with Rapid SSL through name.com, I received server certificate, CA certificate and root from them.
I have checked different guides here but all of them provide you .csr that you use to sign and ssl. but I already have an SSL.
My question is how to install this to my server. Do I still need to generate .csr and .key files on ubuntu as explained in a tutorial https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-an-ssl-certificate-from-a-commercial-certificate-authority?
And should i follow everything there? Or do I have to skip something?

Never worked with
name.comor RapidSSL, but you if you can manage cert from RapidSSL site, go ahead and try it.If not, look around is there
name.comsupport, hopefully they can help you with cert.In case you can’t reissue it, you could be out of luck, but we’ll try to find fix. =)
There is no option for reissuing it on name.com. As this is RapidSSL certificate, can I do it directly at RapidSSL website?
My website is already working on another host. I want to transfer it to this host. I generated that SSL for that host. Do I need to buy another ssl now?
