The .0, .1 etc suffix is from the way the Apache web server (I guess its SSL module) tries to find certificates in a directory. It hashes the subject name then looks for the certificate under <hash>.0 then <hash>.1 etc so the digit is used for collisions. I've never seen a .1 and we have a BIG directory.
You can either rename the certificate file or keep the descriptive name and add a symbolic link from the hash to the real file name, which is what we do here:

Hi,
Thx for the reply. The software doesn't expect .0, but I read it somewhere and I wanted to make sure that it is not the case.

No, you can use whatever extension you want. .pem and .cer are often used. Is there some piece of software expecting .0?
Hi All,
Is it necessary to call a certificate with extension of .0? For example, if we have a certificate of type PEM, is it ok to name it certificate.pem or we have to name it certificatepem.0? I am using openssl-0.9.7d
Thanks in advance for the help.
