If you see, it is signed by globat, but it shows a warning since it is not signed by m-n-mhumidors.com
How do I change this?

What you're seeing is the result of using a Shared SSL Certificate with your own domain name.
When a browser requests a secure page via SSL, it checks to see if the domain name that it is openeing matches the domain name that the certificate was issued to. If they do not match, a warning message is displayed to the user.
The certificate that you appear to be using was issued for any domain that matches *.globat.com, i.e. any sub-domain on the globat.com network. Since your domain name does not match the one on the certificate, you get the warning.
The proper URL for a shared SSL cert is usually something like this: https://servername.hostname.com/~accountnameIf you want to stop receiving this warning message, you'll either need to start using the shared SSL URL, like above, or you'll need to purchase an SSL certificate registered to your domain name. If you need more information on this you should contact your web host.
