[BlueOnyx:06332] Cpanel to Blue Onyx move

I have a new client who is currently on a Cpanel server.  He will give me
his Cpanel information so I can back up things for export/transfer.

He runs osCommerce on his site, with the secure elements of the shopping
cart, etc., running on one of his current host's SSL certs.  

Does anyone have any recommendations for making a Cpanel-to-BlueOnyx
migration?

The way it is currently set up, the secure URLs look like this:

https://secure99.hostdomain.com/~username/... 

I though I could duplicate that on my BlueOnyx server using the site
preview, as it will show up if I were to use:

http://web1.myserver.com/www.newsite.com/

But if I change it to "https:", it gives a glaring scare-screen to the user
and then it changes to the SSL cert on the first site on the server, my
hosting company domain, like this:

https://www.myserver.com/www.newsite.com/404.html

Because I have an SSL cert on my webhosting site's domain, I could put a
symbolic link in that site's web document root, but that would open up a
whole new can of worms with httpd.conf directives and OpenBaseDir
restictions.

Can I accomplish by replacing the self-signed certificate on the server
itself with a commercial SSL cert without painting myself into a corner, or
does anyone else have any other recommendations?

Thanks in advance.
