Mike,

A security certificate is based on the DNS name for a site. If the DNS name
does not change, your cert is fine. If the DNS name changes, then you have a
problem...

Other people have provided instructions on exporting a cert and importing it
again, so I  won't rehash that information.

Cheers
Ken

: Hello.
:
: Once a ssl certificte has been acquired, what happens if the server it
: resides on is assigned a new ip address?  Do you have to get a new
: certificate?  Reinstall the existing one?  Nothing?
:
: For example, what if you move to a new hosting facility?
