Re: Need advice on transfering SSL-enabled site from hosting to a localhost

Thanks a lot for your reply!

I think I might haven't made myself clear enough. The domain the cert is for 
remains THE SAME -- regardless whether it's installed in a hosting 
environment or on my local machine at home. As per hostnames, here I don't 
know what you meant exactly. I think that when a CA issues a certificate, 
you can install it on ANY server (at least, Apache, for sure). The cert is 
not tied to a specific box, right?
Maximum, I might have to re-issue CSR or whatever it's called, I don't 
remember exactly all the procedures, but it's not that difficult anyhow. As 
per self-signed certificates that you mentioned -- I know what you're saying 
in that regard. It does look scary in a browser, unless you know 100% what 
it's about (like if it belongs to you). DEFINITELY I won't even think to 
show that Freddy Krueger thing to my potential clients! No way, God forbid!

Hello!

I have a web site that has HTTPS. Right now I DO NOT have SSL certificate
installed on hosting. They charge extra for that. I want to transfer my site
to a localhost and then to install SSL on Apache myself. So I wonder whether
I should pay them and have them SSL certificate installed on a hosting
server and after that to copy to site to a localhost OR to leave it alone as
it is now and just install SSL on Apache from scratch myself.
I ALREADY have SSL certificate installed as it was PRIOR to my termination
of my previous hosting account (when that archive ZIP file was originally
created). It's already there files-wise, just not installed yet on my new
(current) hosting server. And though I don't feel like wasting $25 for their
job to install SSL's (I've got 2, but they charge for a bulk of an extra
10+1 free that comes with the hosting plan = 11 SSL's alltogether), money is
not a critical point here. What is critical is the EASY path for me to get
the job done. I'm not a big expert when it comes to system administration
and Apache. And I'm a complete novice in Linux (I use W7/Ubuntu 14.04
Desktop edition dual-boot box).
