DirectAdmin Renew SSL certificate | Guide

If you are looking for a way to renew your digital certificate in DirectAdmin, our experts have your back.

1. First, we have to log in to our DirectAdmin control panel.
2. Then, head to the SSL Certificates section. Here we will see a list of domains for which SSL certificates are installed. We have to locate the domain for which we want to renew the certificate.
3. At this point, we have different options for renewal:
   • Let’s Encrypt Certificate:

     If we have a Let’s Encrypt certificate, DirectAdmin typically handles the automatic renewal process. All we have to do is click the Renew button next to the certificate.
   • Commercial Certificate:

     If we have a commercial certificate, you have to get a renewed certificate from the CA. This involves generating a new certificate signing request and submitting it to the CA. We have to follow the instructions given by the CA.
   • Self-Signed Certificate:

     If you have a self-signed certificate, we can generate a new certificate by filling in the information in the SSL Certificates section. Once we save the changes the new self-signed certificate will be generated.
4. Now, we have to install the renewed certificate in DirectAdmin. This involves copying and pasting the certificate, private key, and any intermediate certificate into the fields in the SSL Certificates section.
5. Then, click Save to apply the renewed certificate.
