Starting from 2020-08-19, all SSL/TLS brands around the world will no longer offer two-year SSL/TLS Certificates. It is because major browsers (including Safari, Chrome, Firefox) will distrust any two-year SSL/TLS Certificate issued after 2020-08-30 due to industry-wide requirement.
As a result, the maximum year term of SSL/TLS Certificate will be only ONE year.
For customers who always purchase or renew SSL/TLS Certificate for 2 years, the impact is they will need to do validation and install SSL/TLS Certificate one time per year, rather than one time per 2 years.
When you purchase or renew the SSL/TLS Certificate, you can still choose to pay 2 years fee. But the year term of SSL/TLS Certificate will be as 1 year + 1 year. On the one hand, you can save admin cost for paying twice in 2 years. On the other hand, it means you will need to do validation and installation for 2 times (1 time per year) in 2 years.
Validation and installation annually will also apply to 3, 4, 5 years purchase / renewal.
3 Years = 1 year + 1 year + 1 year (Validation and installation for 3 times in 3 years)
4 Years = 1 year + 1 year + 1 year + 1 year (Validation and installation for 4 times in 4 years)
5 Years = 1 year + 1 year + 1 year + 1 year + 1 year (Validation and installation for 5 times in 5 years)
We can provide better offer for longer year terms. If you are interested in SSL purchase / renewal for more than 2 years, you can contact us for details.
