I have two websites/domains hosted on godaddy(vps) and I erroneously renewed SSL for the wrong domain. Is there a way I can undo this or transfer the SSLto the correct domain?
Contact GoDaddy and get them to revoke the certificate and re-issue you a new one. I dont think StackOverflow can help you in this regard - this is a GoDaddy Customer Service issue.
Once you buy an SSL Certificate for a domain, that domain name can't be replaced with another one. If you have purchased a Multi-Domain SSL certificate, then you can add the new domains as the SAN domain.
As you have reissue the SSL Certificate for the wrong domain, the only solution is.
Cancel your order and ask for refund to GoDaddy, then again reissue your SSL certificate for the domain name which you were actually wishing.

I am working on a client's site - we'll call it checkers.com - that I previously bought an SSL certificate for. They bought a european domain - checkers.eu - that that uses an A-record redirect to point to checkers.com, but setting up an SSL certificate for that domain fails because it's technically on the same IP address as the checkers.com site, and that's not allowed. How would I go about setting up an SSL certificate on checkers.eu when that domain just redirects to a domain that already has an SSL certificate?
As per your question, it seems like you are using a SSL Certificate which offering only Single Server License policy. As per SSL under this policy, you can only install SSL certificate on one domain, one IP address and one physical server. If you try to install it on same IP address it will never allow you.
You either need to purchase another server license from the Certificate Authority, or else get the SSL Certificate from Certificate Authorities which offers multiple server license such as (Comodo, Thawte, GeoTrust & RapidSSL).
To begin let's say I have this configuration :
mywebsite.com is related on machine 0.0.0.1 (with ssl certificate)
cloud.mywebsite.com is related on machine 0.0.0.2 (without ssl certificate)
can I ask for a new SSL certificate for "cloud.mywebsite.com" or this will create issues because of domain/subdomain ?
Thanks for the response.
Instead of asking for a new SSL Certificate, you only need to get Wildcard SSL Certificate that will secure your main domain as well as its all sub-domains. For example:
If you get Wildcard SSL certificate for *mywebsite.com then it will secure,
https://cloud.mywebite.com
https://mail.mywebsite.com
https://photos.mywebsite.com
https://anything.mywebsite.com
So, you will not have to manage multiple SSL certificates for your main domain and its sub-domain. Wildcard SSL certificate will reduce the hassle of server administrators for multiple SSL management. I suggest you to read this article, which will give you clear understanding of Wildcard SSL Certificate.
I have obtained an SSL cert from Lets Encrypt and added it to my SSL endpoint on Heroku, but I'm a bit nervous about simply removing Expedited SSL. Is it safe?
No problem with doing that and switching to a new certificate from differente Certificate Authority (CA) such as LetsEncrypt. I always remove the references to the old certificates.
A practice I suggest is moving the old certificates to new ones by appending the .backup at the end
Based on the documentation this is a correct practice as long as DNS is pointed to the right endpoint.
I removed my old Comodo SSL certificate and it worked fine. Make sure you've updated your DNS Target at your domain registrar to point to the SSL endpoint you got when you added the Let's Encrypt cert. (Usually certified.domain.herokudns.com)
Mi question is really simple:
I have one server that owns multiple domains inside. Recently I bought a SSL certificate for one of them.
Is there any possibility to reuse that one certificate?
In other words, is SSL certificate related to the domain, or the hosting machine?
Each certificate can be used just by one domain, despite, you can use it for all your subdomains.
https://ssl.comodo.com/wildcard-ssl-certificates.php
If you purchased a wildcarded certificate that is valid for *.yourdomain.com, you can reuse it for other subdomains.
Can I use the SSL certificate that I bought on GoDaddy on another domain, within the same hosting?
I have for example:
http://domain1.com
http://anotherdomain.com
And have both of this domains above share the SSL I have from GoDaddy which would be located on the same host?
The X.509 certificate is issued for SSL server authentication usually for just one domain (www.example.com + example.com). It won't authenticate "anotherdomain.com".
Unless you purchased an X.509 certificate specifically for those two domains combined, you can't use your certificate for domain1.com with anotherdomain.com. You need to purchase another certificate for anotherdomaincom. And then the technical problem appears - to properly present the certificate to the client in HTTPS in most cases the server must have dedicated IP - one domain name per IP address.
