Transfering SSLenabled Joomla site from hosting to localhost

Post by abrodski » Wed Jul 01, 2015 6:34 pm

Hello!

I have a web site that has HTTPS. Right now I DO NOT have SSL certificate installed on hosting. They charge extra for that. I want to transfer my site to a localhost and then to install SSL on Apache myself. So I wonder whether I should pay them and have them SSL certificate installed on a hosting server and after that to copy to site to a localhost OR to leave it alone as it is now and just install SSL on Apache from scratch myself.
I ALREADY have SSL certificate installed as it was PRIOR to my termination of my previous hosting account (when that archive ZIP file was originally created). It's already there files-wise, just not installed yet on my new (current) hosting server. And though I don't feel like wasting $25 for their job to install SSL's (I've got 2, but they charge for a bulk of an extra 10+1 free that comes with the hosting plan = 11 SSL's alltogether), money is not a critical point here. What is critical is the EASY path for me to get the job done. I'm not a big expert when it comes to system administration and Apache. And I'm a complete novice in Linux (I use W7/Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop edition dual-boot box).

then maybe self-hosting is not the best idea ?
