During this period, you\u2019ll be able to renew your expired domain name straight from your Client Area with no additional fee, other than the renewal cost. However, if a domain name is not renewed within this period, it could result in additional fees to recover the domain name or its loss.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the domain name renewal process and specific domain name extension renewals, please feel free to reach out to our Billing department.<\/p>\n<p><b>SSL Certificates<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The renewal process for SSL certificates is different as they have a finite lifetime; if renewed before expiry, the lifetime of the service will be extended. Should an SSL certificate reach its expiry date without renewal, it will not be possible to extend the lifetime, and the service will cease to function. The only way to reinstate an SSL certificate is to purchase a new one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article will explain what happens to your ChemiCloud products if you forget to renew them.
