Multi-year certificates allow you to pay a single discounted price for two or three years of SSL certificate coverage. When you purchase a multi-year SSL certificate, you lock in a single price for up to 3 years of coverage.
Initially, you will receive a certificate that is valid for the Certificate Authority Browser Forum's maximum allowed term (1 year and 1 month) with the right to unlimited certificate reissues during the order period.
Automated reissuance will occur automatically throughout the term to ensure continued protection for your website.
SSL certificates must be revalidated periodically. The maximum certificate lifetime is 13 months, requiring revalidation annually.
Benefits
- Enjoy increasing discounts for each year of coverage that you purchase.
- Remove the hassle of annual billing.
- Annual validation. Yearly validation of identity in shorter validity certificates prevents potential fraud and spoofing.
