Re: Renew SSL for subdomain website question

good to know - not having a proper test system and this subdomain gets a
constant stream of customers 24x7.

Thanks

No. All of my domains are registered at GoDaddy but are secured by
LetsEncrypt. Unless I am misunderstanding your question, having a
domain registered by one registrar but secured by a certificate from
another registrar will not be an issue. Just keep track of the where it
is actually registered...you'll usually need access to DNS at the
registrar with subdomain record to validate the certificate renewal.
But the issuing CA really doesn't care where the domain is registered.

V7R5 server uses Apache http server to host a subdomain (orders.xyz.zom)
and has a cert for ssl on the site.
Corporate moved the domain registration (xyz.com - but not the subdomain
ssl) to a different registrar (cheaper..). Never even knew there was a
change.
Now subdomain ssl cert needs to be rekeyed (2 yr but renewed each yr). It
is still with original registrar (GO DADDY)
As usual i can generate the CSR (request) in the IBM Admin pages, but

will

there be any problem when going to apply - ssl with one registrar, main
domain with another.
Site name for both subdomain and domain did not change.
There is no test system.
The network win guys think should be no problem but google ai seems to
always show same registrar examples . .
