If you wish to secure your domain name on multiple servers, you need to purchase Additional License(s) for your Digital Certificate and install your Digital Certificate on these servers. 2
The thawte Cross Root CA and Intermediate CA need to be either copy-pasted together or installed as a single .crt file, such that they are mentioned together separated by their individual -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE-----.
We have downloaded the thawte Cross Root CA and Intermediate CA from thawte and included them in their individual .crt files. You may download the respective CA Bundle depending upon the type of thawte Digital Certificate you have purchased from Answerable.com:
For SGC SuperCert Certificate: sgc-ca-bundle.crt

If you have purchased Web Hosting service for this domain name from Answerable.com, then install the thawte Cross Root CA and Intermediate CA from within your own Control Panel. 3
Upon installing your digital certificate, you should confirm that it has been installed correctly.
