SSL Renewal in Four Easy Steps

The expiry date of an SSL certificate is encoded in the digital file. When it lapses, you cannot change the validity period on the file itself. Instead, you’ll need to procure a new cert and replace the expired one with it. Here’s how to go about extending your certificate’s expiry date:

Generate a new SSL cert

Before your SSL certificate expires, you’ll receive a notice via email. It’s possible to renew it between 30 to 90 days prior to expiration. All you have to do is purchase the certificate by following the instructions in your inbox or through your SSL provider’s account panel.
