Generally that error occurs as, when you are getting the pair of keys from google api, you specify the domain name there. In that, to use those keys in your local system, you will enter domain as "localhost". But, these pair of keys will not work when you deploy that application in any server.

So, for the application to work in the remote host, you should get the pair of keys from google api with the domain name, where you are going to deploy your application. And use them in your application.

Hope it helps in some way.
