Certificate renewal

When you renew a certificate, you'll receive a new certificate with the same data as the last one, but with a new start- and end date. The remaining validaty from the old certificate will be added to the renewed one. This only applies to SSL certificates, not to digital signatures.

How can I renew a SSL certificate?

Please log in to your account to the Control Panel. Here you will find an overview of your certificates and the option to renew them. Your new certificate will be sent to you by e-mail, but can also be downloaded from the Control Panel. After having received the certificate, it has to be installed on your server.
