How to renew SSL Certificate
Posted: May 14th, 2018
Every SSL certificate contains an expiration date that cannot be modified. Therefore, when you “renew” a certificate, you are actually obtaining a brand-new certificate with a new expiration date for the same domain.
When an SSL certificate nears its expiration date, the following events occur:
Thirty (30), fifteen (15), and seven (7) days before the SSL certificate is due to expire, you receive an automatic e-mail expiration notice from us. This notice reminds you that you must purchase and install a new SSL certificate before expiration to avoid HTTPS access problems.
Note that these intervals are based on the purchase date of an SSL certificate. To confirm the exact expiration date of an SSL certificate, use your web browser to look at the certificate details for the site.
