    Renewing a User-Managed SSL Certificate

    For user-managed SSL certificates

    Note

    SSL certificates are valid for one year. For user-managed SSL certificates, you are independently responsible for renewing the certificate.

    This will extend an expiring SSL certificate for another year:

    • Log in to IONOS. 
    • Click on Menu > Domain & SSL  in the title bar.
      The page listing all your domains is displayed.
    • Click on Manage  in the section SSL certificates under Portfolio. The overview of your SSL certificates is displayed.
    • Click on the three dots in the Actions column next to the certificate you want to renew.
    • If you want to renew the certificate for the same domain, click on Renew SSL certificate.
    • Read and accept the terms of use.
    • Click on Renew SSL certificate. The SSL certificate will be reissued. The application should be completed within a few minutes.
    • Click on Download private key to save your new private key.
    • You can now download the SSL certificate and install it on your server.
