 * I am on Hostgator shared hosting plan. I have several Add On Domains. This is
   for an Add On Domain not the main domain on the account.
 * I grab my certificates from this plugin and install them on Hostgator from the
   Manage SSL Sites. I select Update certificate for the domain and then paste the
   certificate, private key and Certificate Authority Bundle from Really Simple 
   SSL into each box and save it. It then shows that the certificate is issued to
   the correct domain.
 * But after a few days it reverts back to either a subdomain or another domain 
   entirely from the same server. How do I update the certificate so it doesn’t 
   keep changing?
    Am I doing something wrong?

 * As far as I know hostgator supports automatic ssl installation. The Cpanel api
   didn’t install automatically?
 * Is it possible hostgator overwrites the installed certificate?

 * It wouldn’t install automatically if I selected Hostgator during the installation.
   I had to select I don’t know hosting provider to get to the screen where it would
   let me download and then copy and paste the certificates.
    Like I said it does
   accept it when I create it manually on hostgator but after a day it changes so
   yes it seems they must overwrite it. I’m guessing there is nothing I can do about
   it.

 * I would check with them if there’s something off in the configuration of the 
   server.
