Keeping track of domain and SSL expiry

When a domain or SSL certificate expires, the site either won't load at all or visitors see a red "Not secure" warning. Your email may stop working too.

Domain

  • A domain's registration is separate from hosting — paying for hosting doesn't renew the domain;
  • Check the expiry date in the «Domenlər» (Domains) section and plan the renewal a month ahead;
  • If the domain is registered in your name, don't let the registrar's email reminders get lost in your spam folder;
  • An expired domain is released after a while and can be bought by someone else — the hardest loss to recover from.

SSL certificate

  • From 2026 the maximum lifetime of certificates is getting shorter and renewing them by hand is becoming impractical — use automatic renewal;
  • You can see the certificate's status in the SSL certificate row of the «Domenlər» (Domains) section;
  • If some pages of your site open over HTTPS and others over HTTP, write to support.
