本月，蹲点日记购买Godaddy无限空间一年了，Godaddy向我的信用卡自动申请了SSL证书续费的钱，但是信用卡余额不足，未完成支付。因此，蹲点日记向Godaddy咨询了 ULTIMATE PLAN hosting 无限空间的SSL证书免费问题，结果被Godaddy告知，Godaddy无限空间SSL证书仅第一年免费。

Issue : At your website ,it said that if we buy the ULTIMATE PLAN hosting,it includes Free†† SSL Certificate!

Now,my ULTIMATE PLAN hosting “Hosting- Grid – Ultimate – Linux – Monthly” of paojin.com is in the service scope, but I need to separate pay for the SSL Certificate ????

Thank you for contacting Online Support.  A review of your account indicates that your Hosting account did include a free SSL Certificate.  Please note that this offer is only available on your initial Hosting purchase and that the SSL Certificate is only free for the first year.  I understand that you would like to renew your SSL Certificate, in order to do this you must purchase an SSL Certificate renewal. 
To renew an expiring SSL certificate, you must purchase a certificate-renewal credit and follow the provided instructions for requesting a certificate renewal.
We prompt you to renew expiring SSL certificates via email. Renewal notices are sent 120, 90, 60, 45, and 30 days prior to the certificate’s expiration date.

To renew an expiring SSL certificate

1. Log into your Account Manager.
2. In the My Products section, click SSL Certificates.
3. A list of your common names will appear. Click the common name you need to renew.
4. On the right choose your renewal duration, proceed to checkout, and complete the transaction for your renewal.
5. Click the SSL Certificates link located on the left menu. Next, click the Manage Certificate link next to the certificate. Once loaded, a renewal credit displays under the Credits folder.
6. Select the radio button next to the renewal credit and click Request Certificate. Complete and confirm the certificate renewal application information.

If your previous certificate was generated at 512 or 1024-bit length, you need to generate a new CSR, as our security standards have changed to require at least 2048-bit keys.
If you are renewing a High-Assurance certificate and have changed information, and/or have not verified in the last 13 months, you need to complete the full verification process again. We will contact you if we need you to send us information.

NOTE: Apply renewal credits up to 30 days prior to the expiration date. If the SSL certificate expires, the renewal credit must be purchased, and applied, no later than 30 days after the expiration date.
For example: If the certificate expires June 15th, the renewal credit is applicable May 15 to July 15.

If the SSL certificate expires, and the renewal credit has not been applied, the website area that was previously protected will display an error message in browsers.

If the SSL certificate renewal credit was purchased but not applied, and the certificate has been expired for more than 30 days, a new certificate needs to be purchased and applied.

Please let us know if we can assist you in any other way.

Sincerely,
Jess P.
