Help CenterRenewing your SSL certificate is essential for keeping your website secure and maintaining visitor trust. SSL certificates encrypt the communication between your server and users, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information. If a certificate expires, browsers may display security warnings that can damage credibility, damages user’s trust, and even negatively impact search engine rankings. Regular renewal ensures uninterrupted protection and a smooth experience for your audience. By following this step-by-step guide, you can complete the process of renewing your SSL efficiently and avoid potential website disruptions.
Step 1: Log into your Gatehills Dashboard
Open your preferred web browser and sign in to your Gatehills account using your login credentials.
Once you've successfully logged in, you'll be taken to your dashboard, where you can manage your domains and hosting services.
Step 2: Locate the SSL Certificate Section
From your dashboard, find the domain for which you want to renew the SSL certificate.
Scroll down until you see the SSL Certificate section located beneath your domain information. Here, you'll find details about your current SSL certificate, including its expiration date and renewal options.
Step 3: Renew Your SSL Certificate
In the SSL Certificate section, click the three dots (⋮), then select Renew.
The system will automatically process the renewal. Once the renewal is complete, the SSL certificate's expiration date will be updated to reflect the new validity period.
If the updated expiration date does not appear immediately, wait a few moments and then refresh the page.
Renewal Complete
Your SSL certificate has now been successfully renewed. You can verify the new expiration date in the SSL Certificate section of your dashboard to confirm the renewal was applied.
