 There is no clear consensus on whether creating a new or using an old private key is considered best practice. It is not necessary to create a new private key depending on which web server you are using, (ie you'd need to create new private keys due to the way Microsoft IIS Web server handles storing private keys) but it seems the many sites like sslshopper.com recommends recommend that a new private key be created as it avoids confusion and is simplest.
