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.
