Where to install the SSL for pointed domain?

Hi, We have an account on one of our servers and the dns for that domain also controlled by the same server cluster. The client has asked us to point the www and @ record to another server so the website is hosted elsewhere. The new website hosting provider has said we need to install the SSL certificate on our server so that it loads secure on theirs. Is that right? If so, do you do that different to the way you would normally installed a 3rd party paid SSL? I would have thought the SSL needs to be installed on the server thats hosting the site but they are so adamant that we need to install it on ours that i need to make sure if im right or wrong. Thank you in advance.

  The SSL must be installed where the domain is hosted. It's not going to be effective if it's installed locally and the domain is hosted elsewhere, you're correct.
