Dear customers,
We want to inform you about important changes regarding the issuance of SSL and Code Signing certificates, which are taking effect as part of new global security standards. The goal of these changes is to enhance overall internet security and ensure data accuracy.
The maximum validity period for new SSL certificates is being gradually reduced. DigiCert and Sectigo have already limited issuance to a maximum of 199 and 200 days, respectively. In the table below, you can see the long-term industry roadmap for further reductions:
| Maximum Validity Period | Minimum # of renewals per year | Industry Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| 200 days | ~2 | March 15, 2026 |
| 100 days | ~4 | March 15, 2027 |
| 47 days | ~8 | March 15, 2029 |
If you have any questions, need help with automation, or want advice regarding your SSL certificates, the SkyHosting team is here to help!
