1. Re-purchase<\/h2>\n

To renew your SSL certificate, simply re-purchase it from the SSL Provider you originally bought it from. Now, and this is important, you\u2019re going to want to renew the certificate before the validity period actually expires. The reasons for this are two-fold:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You don\u2019t want your protection to lapse. That would leave your website insecure and that\u2019s going to end up costing you money. Not to mention, it can take a few days to issue the certificate so you may be without protection for as long as a week.<\/li>\n
  2. If you renew before the certificate expires, the issuing Certificate Authority (CA) can rollover the majority of the previously validated information – depending on the certificate type \u2013 as long as the business information remains the same. You may just have to deal with a few requirements instead of the entire process. If you renew after the certificate has expired though, you\u2019re really not renewing at all, you\u2019re purchasing a new one and the CA is going to make you go through every step of the validation process again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2. Validate & install<\/h2>\n

    Now, the last thing to remember is that your job is not done simply because you renewed your certificate. The CA still has to validate and issue you a new certificate, then you still have to install it. Don\u2019t make the mistake of thinking the job is done just because you purchased a renewal\u2014that will leave you without protection when your old certificate expires. Remember to install your renewal certificate and you\u2019ll be good to go!<\/p>\n

    The time rolls over<\/h2>\n

    And don\u2019t worry about losing time off your original certificate, that rolls over too\u2014up to about 30 days!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
