What happens when the certificate reaches 200 days?
We email you before it is due; reactivate free from your dashboard and install the new certificate. Your plan end date doesn't change.
Can I use an ECC key?
Yes — generate an ECC P-256 or P-384 CSR with our in-browser CSR generator or on your server, and paste it at setup.
My domain has CAA records — will issuance fail?
Only if they don't allow this CA. If your domain publishes CAA records, one must allow digicert.com. The DNS check on your certificate page flags this and shows the exact record to add.
How fast is it issued?
Typically 1–3 business days: the CA verifies your registered business as well as the domain.
Are taxes included?
Prices exclude any local taxes. Your invoice shows the tax treatment for your country.
