An update: >and uploaded the ssl that is currently being used in the in-house server. (All the subdomains use the same ssl certificate.) The hosting site's helpdesk told me they don't allow an SSL certificate that has multiple domains listed in the SANs field. So I will will be creating a new SSL for the that particular (=single) domain (www-test1-com) only. Will report how it goes.
