  Hello :) That is because you have installed the SSL as dedicated on the domain in question where your IP shared. You would want to implement SNI ( Server Name Indicator ), SSL support in your server if you want to have dedicated SSLs on shared IP.

  Hello :) If the account is assigned a shared IP address, and a SSL certificate is installed on that IP address, then any secure request to a domain name on that IP address will load the contents of the domain name the certificate is installed for. This is by design. You will need to assign a dedicated IP address to the account that uses the SSL certificate if you don't want that certificate applied to the other domain names on it's IP address. Or, you could generate/install a self-signed certificate for each domain name on the server (Assuming your server supports SNI). You could also make one alternate SSL certificate the primary certificate for an IP address via the "Make Primary" option in "WHM Home " SSL/TLS " Manage SSL Hosts". Thank you.
