SSL/TLS is supposed to be end-to-end, in the sense that the client and server 
are the ends.  Even if two domains are hosted at the same hosting service, I 
would definitely not condone sharing of the private key unless the domains 
are intimately related (e.g., they are owned by the same customer account).
