SSL certificates can be renewed up to 60 days prior to certificate expiration. To determine whether a certificate is eligible for renewal, go to the SSL Certificates tab in Control Panel and check the certificate status. If there is a "renew" link next to the expiration date, the certificate can be renewed.

To renew:

Go to the Site Tools section for the site that uses certificate you are renewing (if you are renewing a certificate that is not used on a WinHost site, you must generate a renewal CSR on the server hosting the site)

Do not click the "Generate New CSR" button!

Click the SSL Manager icon, and copy the CSR. The CSR is the text block that begins with:

-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

Go to the SSL Certificates tab and click the "Renew" link.

Paste the CSR into the "Paste your renewal CSR" box. Be sure to include all of the text, including the lines:

-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
-----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

Click the Continue button.
