Two quick questions get most people to the right type. Still unsure? Call us and we will tell you.
1. What do you need to secure?
- One website name (for example
www.example.com) → a single-domain certificate - Many subdomains of one name (
shop.,mail.,www.…) → a wildcard - Several different names (
example.comandexample.co.uk) → a multi-domain certificate
2. Does your business need to be checked?
- No — just the padlock → domain validation (DV). Usually the quickest and lowest cost.
- Yes — your organisation’s details verified and shown in the certificate → organisation validation (OV)
- Yes, the strictest check → extended validation (EV)
ProntoSSL Automate: built for 47-day certificates
A new way of ordering SSL for anyone who would rather not replace certificates by hand. You connect your server once, using ACME or our install agent; Automate then orders, validates and installs each new certificate on schedule.
What changes with Automate
Same certificates either way| Ordering now | With Automate | |
|---|---|---|
| Proving ownership | You complete the email, DNS or file check | Completed for you at every new certificate |
| Installation | You install it on your server | Installed by ACME or the install agent |
| Replacing it | You reissue and reinstall before expiry | Starts automatically at 28 days remaining; you are emailed if it needs your help |
| Best for | A few certificates, looked after by hand | Several servers, or anyone who wants less to remember |
Automate looks after the certificate. You still keep the server reachable and the domain’s DNS correct, act on any alert we send, and look after the rest of your site’s security.

Why SSL is changing
The industry rules that set how long a certificate may last are tightening.
Shorter lifetimes
The maximum is 200 days now, 100 days from 15 March 2027 and 47 days from 15 March 2029. Replacing certificates goes from twice a year to roughly every six weeks.
Reissues are free
Your order runs for its full term. When a certificate within it nears its maximum lifetime, you reissue it from your account at no charge.
Expiry is the real risk
A lapsed certificate turns the padlock into a browser warning. Renewal, not buying, is what catches people out — which is what Automate is for.

I am an existing customer — what has changed?
Only the website. Your account and certificates have moved across and keep working. Use “Forgot password” the first time you sign in.
Should I wait for Automate?
Not if you need a certificate now. Order today; you can move to Automate later if it suits you, or never — ordering on manual.prontossl.com carries on as it is.
Is an Automate certificate any different?
No. Same certification authorities and validation levels. Only who does the validating and installing changes.
