The SSL Validity Landscape is Changing
Security is one of the biggest changes in the digital sector in the last few years. The maximum validity period for SSL and TLS certificates will be decreased from the current limit of about 200 days to 47 days by 2029. This change was made by the main browser vendors and the CA/Browser Forum to enhance the security hygiene and minimise exposure to compromised and outdated certificates.

When businesses continue to manage certificates manually, though, this change comes with a major operational danger: More certificates being renewed means there are more chances for human error, late renewals, and expensive website downtime.

In the past, manual processes were done only once a year, but this will soon be once every 6-7 weeks. It's just not possible to do this without automation, especially for businesses that are growing, startups, and even established companies with more than one domain. Certificate outages have real-world implications, including lost revenue, loss of customer trust, and potential compliance issues.

CheapSSLWEB Introduces Sectigo ACME Certificate-as-a-Service
To meet these industry trends, CheapSSLWEB is delighted to introduce Sectigo ACME Certificate-as-a-Service (CaaS) to its portfolio. With this new offering, businesses of all sizes – from the smallest developer to the expanding and growing SME – can now afford enterprise-grade SSL/TLS certificate automation without sacrificing on price.
The ACME CaaS solution utilises the ACME (Automated Certificate Management Environment) protocol to completely automate the certificate lifecycle: issuance, renewal and deployment. The businesses will no longer have to monitor expiry dates or log into portals or re-issue certificates manually. It runs automatically, silently and reliably in the background, while ensuring websites and applications are secure 24/7.

Automation Is No Longer Optional. It Is Essential
The move to shorter certificate validity periods has a clear purpose: it reduces the window during which a compromised certificate can be exploited and encourages organisations to adopt modern, automated certificate management practices.

However, the operational burden this places on teams that are still doing things manually is substantial. Across the industry, leading certificate providers and security analysts are aligned on one conclusion: automation is the only scalable answer.

ACME-based automation has emerged as the gold standard for this challenge. Originally developed by Let's Encrypt and now adopted by major CAs, including Sectigo, the ACME protocol allows software clients to automatically prove domain ownership and obtain, renew, and revoke certificates without human intervention.
CheapSSLWEB's new Sectigo ACME CaaS offering puts this capability directly in the hands of its customers through a simple, subscription-based product that requires minimal setup and delivers maximum reliability.
