In this article we will explain how to renew your SSL certificate in 4 simple steps. When you renew a certificate, a new one will be issued for a period, after the old certificate expires. For example, if your certificate has 1 month remaining and you choose to extend it by 1 year it will expire in 1 year and 1 month.
1. You should log in with your ClouDNS account and click on the Renew button (which is shown when you click on the three dots on the right side of the SSL certificate), in the "SSL Certificates" panel, in your Dashboard.
2. After you finish the order and it is processed, you can input your new CSR, by clicking "Submit CSR", located to the right of your certificate's name. Your new CSR could be like your old one, it is a matter of personal choice.
3. You will receive a mail in the mailbox specified for your certificate and your confirmation will be required to finish the process.
4. You will receive your CRT, which is ready for use and can be installed immediately on your web server.
