Not sure if this is IOSR issue or SSL certificate issuing company, but here is the question.
I am planning to buy IOSR for one domain which has 2 more domain aliases:
www.domainaaa.com (main one)
www.domainbbb.com (alias to www.domainaaa.com)
www.domainccc.com (alias to www.domainaaa.com)
I am about to buy SSL certificate for www.domainaaa.com from Godaddy (do i need some special one, or just regular single domain certificate?).
In IOSR I will enable SSL/TLS feature, will it be a problem with IOSR or SSL certficate when lets say a site visitor goes to www.domainccc.com and tries to make a booking? Will there be any issues?
Or do I need htaccess redirect involved in thic case (really dont want to use this option)
I appreciate your time.

ssl with multiple(not-single) domains = OK
-------------------------------------------
elxis- and ios-res ssl support = Yes
ios-res multiple domains = NO
elxis multiple domains = NO

Multiple domains
Regardless how many domains you have as parked/co-domains Elxis will be installed on one of them. So, after the first click the user will be redirected to the default domain if you have enabled SEO PRO (highly recommended). Also IOSR can be activated on one domain per license. I dont find anything good on having multiple domains/URLs for one site. I dont recommend this practice except if you just want to put domain redirects due to mis-spelling or other reasons (i.e. redirect gougle.com to google.com).
SSL
If you want your site to be accessible ALWAYS via https set the site's URL to https://..... in Elxis' configuration.php file and dont enable SSL switch in IOSR.
If you want your site to be in http://.... and only for special pages (i.e. during the booking process) to switch in SSL mode then enable the SSL switch in IOS Reservations configuration. IOSR will change the URL of the site automatically from http to https and vice versa where needed.

Well in my case it's just a matter of making it easy.
I do not plan to use separate things here or cut any corners - domain alias means same site folder, same database for exlis, same email accounts, etc.
I had number of websites designed for different countries, like mywebsite.co.uk (english), mywebsite.nl (dutch), mywebsite.fr (french), etc..
All these websites had same content (just in it's own language) and were using same ONE database, same SINGLE folder for images, etc.
And now as I am moving everything to Exlis - Exlis has multiple languages with dropdown box and content can be entered in different languages - I would prefer to have ONE website with all these things. With all these domain names (.nl, .fr, .de) directed to one. Is it possible?
It did work well SEO-wise for me before, so why shouldn't it work with Exlis?
Last thing I could do is to to use htaccess to redirect everything to the main one?

as for seo ...
now you talk for different things...
we talked till now about same site wich means same content...
but diffrent lang is not the same content! so no seo-problem....
you mixed things a little... till now we talked about same content.. and this below:
It did work well SEO-wise for me before, so why shouldn't it work with Exlis?
who said that elxis will have seo-problems if you use same content with diff domains?
any cms or even static pages will have seo-problem...
if diff lang.. then content is not the same! and any site will not have seo-problem...
is not an elxis matter!
************
as for the other staff we talked...
a different domain is always different domain....
each ios-res can be activated only once for only one domain...
would prefer to have ONE website with all these things. With all these domain names (.nl, .fr, .de) directed to one. Is it possible?
if you mean directed to same site-folder but the live_site to be one of the lang-domain... NO you can't
Last thing I could do is to to use htaccess to redirect everything to the main one?
YEs... since live_site stays the same(the main site - the main domain) yes you can
regardless ios-res and one licence per domain is an other matter that datahell told you above:
the live_site parameter in configuration.php, this is the domain that you installed elxis ...
every link from any comp,module,bot and elxis-core each self will use that parameter to produce links in fronted.... no matter what your .htaccess redirections are....
all links in your fronted will guide you at main-domain...that in live_site parameter!
