Renewal

Renewing SSL certificates is what we do, it's literally in our name

An expired SSL certificate is as good as having an SSL certificate not installed at all!

Just because you have purchased an SSL certificate doesn't mean you can now forget about it altogether. All SSL certificates come hard-coded with an expiration date. If you have taken a trial version, that expiration will probably be somewhere between 30 to 90 days. However, even paid SSL certificates come with expiration dates of up to 3 years. As such, it's important to renew SSL certificate regularly if you want to keep your website secure.

If you do not renew SSL certificate in time, Google will remove the padlock from the browser and flash the ‘Not Secure’ message, thus potentially turning users away.

Questions we get asked all the time about renewing SSL

When to Renew Security Certificate?

Users start getting emails regarding renewal of security certificate about 60 days before the expiration date. As such, technically, you can renew the security certificate any time before the expiration date.

However, you can save a lot of money if you use Comodo’s multi-year renewal option. If you renew early, you get additional validity because we add the remaining days from your previous certificate to your new certificate.
