SSL Certificates with multiple domains Topic is solved

[LouisIsMyDog]

I have a general question of ssl certificates. I have several domains running on Vesta CP. Lets say I have 7 websites. My name website with domain abc.com is also my hostname. Now when I create a certificate I register the hostname abc.com. In turn this makes the certificate unusable for my other domains. What is the best way to attach an SSL certificate for each domain? What am I doing wrong?

-Thank you guys in advance

usualy all domains can be specified during ceritficate generation

Why not to use Let's Encrypt? One domain (2-nd or 3-rd level) = one certificate.

Hi skurudo, could you elaborate with "One domain (2-nd or 3-rd level) = one certificate".

The way I generate my certificate is as follows:

"./letsencrypt-auto certonly --renew-by-default --webroot -w /home/admin/web/[YOUR-HOSTNAME]/public_html -d [YOUR-HOSTNAME]"

How would I add more than 1 domain?

You can add multiple domains with extra -d parameters. But why not using the let's encrypt integration in vesta cp itself?

Thanks tjebbeke, the -d parameter worked for me. My gui wasnt working.

domain.com - 2 level
www.domain.com or a.domain.com - 3 level
