[Help] Webhosting + SSL

[Otokiru]

Hi all,

Currently I got a cpanel webhosting hosted with Vodien, and i bought SSL cert together with them. Now, i want to host another webserver using nodejs on amazon aws.

Question is... is it possible to use the same SSL cert from my current cpanel webhosting onto the nodejs amazon aws server? Pardon me, because i got zero knowledge on security stuff...


TIA~

If your NodeJS machine has a different domain name, obviously not.

There are different types of SSL certificates. Some allow wildcards meaning multiple sub-domains within same domain name are allowed. In most cases, the cheapest type is only for 1 specific machine.
