32209 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 My SSL Certificate for one of the sites I have hosted with Hawkhost expires soon. Can anyone tell me the procedure for renewing that SSL Certificate with the SAME provider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 You typically just go through the same process you did when you originally setup the SSL certificate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32209 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) ...same process you did when you originally setup the SSL certificate. ??? It is a 3rd party SSL I purchased at a previous host(certificate reseller); I did not, to my recollection, do anything other than click "buy SSL" in my cPanel at that host. I do not use that host anymore. I am thinking in terms of using the same SSL certificate provider because the SSL certificate seems to have worked "problem free".

shormram73 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hi, you are correct. The SSL certificate actually expires on the 28th of July, so I have about another week or so. Thanks. P.S. - Am I correct in thinking that I have to wait until it has expired to renew it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I'd renew it a few days before it expires. You can generate a new CSR and such before it actually expires then install the new one. Thus at no point does anyone get any errors about the SSL certificate being expired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
