Automated workflows, like those offered by Crazy Domains, are time-efficient, minimise risk, and are ideal for small businesses and those without a dedicated IT staff. The best method depends on a business&#8217;s technical resources, size, and specific compliance requirements.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>SSL is a cryptographic protocol that encrypts data transfers between a web server and a browser. The SSL certificate ensures a website&#8217;s legitimacy and secures the connection between the user and the website, preventing malicious agents from stealing critical information, such as passwords and payments.<\/p>\n<p>An SSL certificate isn&#8217;t just a virtual padlock; the certificate is a symbol of trustworthiness for your site. Your customers all over the world, from a local coffee shop&#8217;s web ordering site to an internet giant e-commerce website, will be searching for that reassuring padlock icon along with your website name.<\/p>\n<p>For Australian sites with extensions such as .com.au, .net.au, or .au, SSL certificate renewal must be done on time. In this article, we cover SSL renewal and compare an automated renewal process with a manual installation to help you make the right choice for you.<\/p>\n<h2><strong data-start=\"1208\" data-end=\"1265\">Why SSL Renewal Matters for .com.au, .net.au, and .au<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1268\" data-end=\"1448\">When an SSL certificate expires, browsers display alarming warnings like\u00a0<em data-start=\"1341\" data-end=\"1376\">\u201cYour connection is not private.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0For businesses, this is a quick way to lose customer trust and sales.<\/p>\n<p>In Australia, SSL certificate renewal supports the Australian Privacy Principles, which require organisations to keep personal information secure. Search engines also take SSL into account as a ranking factor, and thus, they can penalise your SEO visibility when your certificates lapse.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, consider a local online shop that offers handmade products. When their SSL expires, shoppers will leave their carts right away, leading to lost business and damage to their reputation.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><em><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong>\u00a0Even if you use automation, set at least two calendar reminders before expiry.
