SSL certificates
When you change a hosting company, consider that your CSR / RSA pair has been cracked, for this you need to reissue your SSL encryption certificate. Changing the contact information in the certificate may also require a reissue. Generate a new CSR / RSA pair and save your RSA for later installation. Usually the user can do this.
Once your SSL certificate has been purchased, the next step is to generate a CSR on the server that hosts your site. You will need a dedicated IP or SNI technology active for any shared servers. It is also important to use a web host that supports other SSL certificates.
A certificate consists of information that contains: version, serial number, search algorithm identifier, publisher name, validity period, certificate subject, subject public key information, publisher, subject, add-on identifier, signature.
SSL certificates are issued for a period of 1-2 years.
When purchasing an SSL certificate, the expiration date is encoded by the certification authority and cannot be changed. If you are using AlexHost as your SSL provider, we will contact you via email to remind you to take action.
Only Certification Authorities are authorized to issue SSL certificates. We partner with: Comodo, Thawte, GlobalSign, DigiCert, and GeoTrust.
