SSL Certificate renewal is a matter of when, not if.<\/h2>\n

Everything in life comes with an expiration date and SSL certificates are no different. Just like every other thing that you use\/consume \u2013 with the exception of Twinkies and Styrofoam \u2013 SSL certificates also have an expiration date. The only difference is that you can renew an SSL Certificate.<\/p>\n

If you are one of our existing customers, you don\u2019t need to worry about remembering the expiration date. Our system will automatically remind you well before the time your SSL certificate expires so that you can avoid the last-minute hassle. How many days before exactly? 90 days to be precise. And we will keep reminding you at regular intervals so that you don\u2019t miss the deadline. But not so much in that calling you every night\/telemarketer kind of way\u2014more like a mother gently reminding you.<\/p>\n

If you are not one of our existing customers and want to get our renewal benefits, that\u2019s not a problem. As long as you have the same domain name(s) and want to renew the same certificate<\/a>, you can renew on our website no matter from where you originally purchased your SSL certificate from. This is because renewing an SSL certificate<\/a> is effectively same as purchasing a new one. Starting from generating the certificate signing request (CSR) through validation and issuance\u2014it\u2019s all the same process. So, why should you renew your certificate instead of just buying a new one? Well, there are some benefits involved with renewing. What are they? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n

\"Renew<\/p>\n

Renew Now, Get Extra Time and Speed Through Validation<\/h3>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be called \u201crenewal\u201d if it was no different from the buying a new SSL certificate,<\/a> would it? No! You get extended bonus days if you decide to renew your SSL certificate(s). Whereas if you were to just purchase a whole new certificate you would lose the remaining time on your old certificate, if you renew you get to carry over any remaining time \u2013 up to three months \u2013 to your new certificate. That\u2019s why we notify you when there\u2019s just 90 days remaining on your current certificate\u2014because you\u2019re now at the point where you can carry your remaining time over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Renewal Benefits Options<\/strong><\/td>\nRenewal Bonus<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Renew Before 15 Days<\/td>\n1 Month<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Renew before 16-45 Days<\/td>\n2 Months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Renew Before 46-90 Days<\/td>\n3 Months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Renew After 15 Days<\/td>\n1 Month<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Another benefit for renewing is that you can re-use old validation information, meaning that you will get through the validation process more quickly and have your certificate issued faster. Granted, if anything has changed since you last purchased your SSL certificate you\u2019ll need to submit updated information, but assuming everything is the same\u2014renewing makes validation much simpler.<\/p>\n

Dangers of an expired SSL certificate<\/h3>\n

Ask yourself a question\u2014What would you think if a browser warned you about a site\u2019s expired SSL certificate<\/a>? Try to imagine that feeling. Got it? Good, because your customers\/visitors will feel the same way if your SSL is expired. They will immediately be skeptical and the majority will not click through to your website. Even if they do, there is very little chance of them converting. This is due to lack of \u2018HTTPS\u2019 and trust-signs such as business name in URL, padlock, and site-seals.<\/p>\n

You know where this is going, don\u2019t you? Declining revenues, crumbling reputation, question marks about your company\u2019s credibility, and what not. But we don\u2019t need to go into any more detail as you were smart enough to buy an SSL to begin with.<\/p>\n

Last Word<\/h3>\n

If you have decided to renew your SSL certificate<\/a> early, bravo! You have made an excellent choice. If you are still undecided, what are you waiting for?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
