The SSL certificates are being issued with a 90 days lifespan and will be renewed and reinstalled automatically one week before expiration. No actions are required by you.

The easiest way to implement this is by editing or creating a .htaccess file into the root domain folder normally “public_html”. Please see the htaccess.txt file for the contents of the .htaccess file you will need to input.
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
A website url running in a secure mode appear when an https:// protocol preceded the domain with or without www. A website running in an insecure mode will always exclude an https:// protocol
