Changing domains

[Geagichi]

I search around this community and read all articles related to this but all all the info are spread and didn’t help.

I want to change alphafashionstyle.com with pulamea.tk. How can I do it?

My domain is: pulamea.tk

I ran this command: certbot certonly --cert-name pulamea.tk -d alphafashionstyle.com

It produced this output: Nothing changed

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Google

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): YES

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): NO only SSH

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot): certbot 0.40.0

I want to change alphafashionstyle.com with pulamea.tk.

So you’ve already got a certificate for alphafasionstyle.com, right? And you want to change it to pulamea.tk, correct?

@Geagichi

I ran this command: certbot certonly --cert-name pulamea.tk -d alphafashionstyle.com

This command says: "get me a certificate for alphafasionstyle.com and call the certificate pulamea.tk without including the hostname pulamea.tk in the certificate itself.

You have to add the hostname you require with the -d option.

Thank you for your reply Osiris, so what is the right command to change that?

I already told you.

@Osiris

You have to add the hostname you require with the -d option.

I included -d in my command as you can see above.

Yes, but as I understand it (you didn’t confirm nor deny my assumption…) you used it in the wrong order.

What is the correct order and the correct command then?

@Geagichi

What is the correct order and the correct command then?

Put the hostname you want in the certificate after the -d option.

I.e.: certbot --cert-name nameofcertificate -d hostnameyouwantincertificate

[Geagichi]

@Osiris

nameofcertificate

So the “nameofcertificate” is the existent certificate right?

[Osiris]

@Geagichi

Or another. You can have multiple certificates at the same time.

[Geagichi]

@Osiris

certbot --cert-name nameofcertificate -d hostnameyouwantincertificate

So to change the existent alphafashionstyle.com with pulamea.tk I run
certbot --cert-name alphafashionstyle.com -d pulamea.tk ?

[Osiris]

That’s correct. When you run that command, you won’t have a certificate for the hostname alphafashionstyle.com any longer, because it will be overwritten by the new certificate for pulamea.tk.
