Help CenterSSL Certificates are essential for securing data transmitted between a user's browser and a web server. They encrypt sensitive information, ensuring that it remains private and protected from potential threats. However, it's important to note that SSL Certificates have a limited lifespan and typically expire every 3 months.
When an SSL Certificate approaches its expiration date, it is crucial to renew it to maintain the security of your website. Fortunately, Gatehills offer automatic renewal services for SSL Certificates, provided that the hosting account remains active. This means that as long as you continue to pay for your hosting services, your SSL Certificate will be automatically renewed before it expires, ensuring uninterrupted security for your website. No extra fee.
Automatic renewal not only saves you the hassle of manually renewing the certificate but also helps prevent potential security warnings that could arise from an expired certificate. It's a seamless process that allows website owners to focus on their content and business operations without worrying about the technicalities of SSL management.
In summary, while SSL Certificates expire every 4 months, the automatic renewal feature provided by many hosting services ensures that your website remains secure as long as your hosting account is active. This proactive approach to SSL management is vital for maintaining trust with your users and protecting sensitive information online.
