domain name transfer affects dedicated IP addr and SSL validity?

[helixia]

I bought SSL cert + domain name with dedicated IP address from host ABC. Let say the dedicated IP address is 123.123.123.123
Now consider I have transferred the domain name from host ABC to registrar XYZ.
I host my website on host ABC, only it has to point to registrar XYZ to get domain name.

1 Would my site address remains at 123.123.123.123?
2 Does SSL certificate refers to 123.123.123.123 or to the domain name?

If your answer to Q1 is Yes , then I presume my SSL certificate would still be valid and my website is still secured.

Not likely, the IP 123.123..... is "owned" by the ABC host. XYZ will assign a new IP to your domain/server.

2 Does SSL certificate refers to 123.123.123.123 or to the domain name?

I'm pretty sure it's both. Usually the cert itself is bound to both the IP address and domain name. You'll have to install a new cert on the new host, or may be able to transfer credits for the cert in the new location. Even if you can do that, you'll have to generate a new CSR (Certificate Signing Request) from the current host.
