Shorter SSL Certificate Lifetimes Are Coming: Automate Renewal

Industry rules are reducing how long public SSL certificates may be valid, step by step toward a few weeks. The goal is less damage when a key leaks.

What you should do

• Use AutoSSL / Let's Encrypt (ACME) that renews by itself.
• Make sure DNS points to the right server so validation works.
• Monitor expiry with an uptime tool.
• For paid certificates, ask your provider about automated renewal.

All JryHost hosting plans include automatic SSL.
