  Hello :) There's always a primary certificate for an IP address. Typically, it's the first SSL certificate you install on the IP address (The first one that appears in the Apache configuration file). There's an answer to this question on our SSL FAQ document: SSL FAQ and Troubleshooting - Documentation - cPanel Documentation. Thank you.

  You will need to install a self-signed certificate for the individual domain name, or delete any SSL certificates installed under the shared IP addresses. This is one of the caveats of using SNI functionality. Thank you.

  so if i delete all the SSL certificates, the problem will be solved? and after that, if install them again one by one. there will be NO primary ssl assigned on the ip?

  No, there's always going to be a default SSL certificate for a shared IP address. This is the case even with a lack of a "Primary" certificate listed in Web Host Manager. It will use the first SSL VirtualHost listed in the Apache configuration file. The workaround is to install a self-signed certificate for each domain name, or to move the account to it's own IP address. The other solution is listed in the URL from my earlier response. Thank you.

  The easiest way to address the issue is to install a free self-signed certificate for the domain name in question, or to change the account's IP address to a dedicated IP address. This will ensure it loads it's own content via SSL, instead of the content from another account. Thank you.
