This is a wild card SSL by the way.
When looking at the keys I see;
Subject: /O=*.domain.com/OU=Domain Control Validated/CN=*.domain.com
Issuer: /C=US/ST=Arizona/L=Scottsdale/O=GoDaddy.com, Inc./OU=http://certificates.godaddy.com/repository/CN=Go Daddy Secure Certification Authority/serialNumber=########
Validation Days: start date - end date
Subject Alternative Name: *.domain.com, domain.com
I don't see any ref to the servers name that its running on.
I removed the serial, domain name and dates.
