SSL certificates · Prove and Renew in the Name Trust Lifecycle
SSL certificates that renew automatically
An SSL certificate lets browsers load your website over HTTPS and shows visitors the site really belongs to your domain. CertPing issues SSL/TLS certificates for domains you own through trusted certificate authorities such as Let's Encrypt, then renews them automatically before they expire. Your first certificate is free.

Why SSL certificates lapse
Every public certificate has an expiry date. When a renewal is missed, browsers show a full-page security warning and most visitors leave before they reach your site.
Certificate lifetimes are getting shorter. Under a CA/Browser Forum ballot, the maximum lifetime of a public TLS certificate falls in steps to 47 days by March 2029, so renewing by hand becomes a job you repeat every few weeks.
What CertPing does for your certificates
- 01
Issues certificates for your domains
CertPing requests SSL/TLS certificates over the ACME protocol from trusted certificate authorities such as Let's Encrypt (ISRG).
- 02
Renews automatically before expiry
Renewal runs ahead of the expiry date, so the certificate stays valid without manual work.
- 03
Keeps certificates with the domain
Certificates sit in the same dashboard as the domain registration and its DNS, so one place shows whether the name is ready to serve HTTPS.
- 04
Flags revoked certificates
When revocation data is available from the certificate authority, CertPing can show that a certificate has been revoked.
How CertPing SSL certificates work
- 1
Add the domain
Choose a domain you own in your CertPing account.
- 2
Prove control of the domain
The certificate authority checks that you control the domain before it issues anything. This is how ACME validation works for every public certificate.
- 3
Get the certificate
The certificate authority issues the certificate and CertPing stores it with the domain.
- 4
Renewal runs automatically
Before the certificate expires, CertPing requests a new one, so the domain stays on HTTPS.
What you get
- An SSL/TLS certificate for each domain you own.
- Automatic renewal before each expiry date.
- Certificate status next to the domain and its DNS records.
- Your first certificate at no cost.
Limits and what you need to do
- CertPing is not a certificate authority. Certificates are issued by trusted authorities such as Let's Encrypt and follow their policies.
- Certificates are only issued for domains you control, and the certificate authority has to be able to validate that control.
- Revocation is carried out by the issuing certificate authority under its own policy. CertPing starts the request and keeps showing the certificate while it is processed.
SSL certificates questions
01Do I need an SSL certificate for my website?
Yes. An SSL/TLS certificate encrypts the connection to your site, and browsers warn visitors on pages served without HTTPS. CertPing issues certificates for domains you own and renews them automatically.
02Who issues CertPing SSL certificates?
Trusted certificate authorities such as Let's Encrypt (ISRG) issue the certificates. CertPing requests them over the ACME protocol and manages renewal. CertPing is not itself a certificate authority.
03Is the first SSL certificate free?
Yes. Your first CertPing SSL certificate is free. Prices for additional certificates are on the CertPing pricing page.
04How does automatic SSL renewal work?
CertPing requests a new certificate before the current one expires, using the same ACME validation as the first issue. The domain keeps serving HTTPS without you renewing by hand.
05What are 47-day SSL certificates?
The CA/Browser Forum has voted to shorten the maximum lifetime of public TLS certificates in steps, reaching 47 days in March 2029. Automatic renewal is how CertPing keeps up with that schedule.
06Can CertPing revoke a certificate?
Yes. Members with permission to revoke can revoke a certificate from CertPing. The request follows the issuing certificate authority's revocation policy, and the certificate stays visible while it is processed. CertPing also flags certificates the authority reports as revoked.
