We need to renew our wildcard certificate for a domain name. Typically you would generate the CSR request on the server where the website is hosted using IIS Manager in server 2008. However our website www.mydomain.com is now hosted by a 3rd party, although registered to our company.
Does this mean we would still require the wildcard certificate and if so which server would you generate the CSR request to send to the relevant certificate authority? Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Yes, as long as you use https on your site you need to renew the cert. And yes, you can still use your own server to create the CSR, but remember to use the correct hostname. After you get your new cert, install it on the server that created the CSR and export it with the private key. Then upload to the webserver and install there.
