CheapSSLWEB, a provider of SSL/TLS and web security solutions, today announced the launch of its next-generation certificate automation suite, designed to help businesses, developers, and web administrators prepare for the mandated reduction in SSL certificate validity to 47 days by March 2029. The new suite, which includes ACME Compatible Certificates, follows the CA/Browser Forum's phased timeline that will reduce maximum certificate validity from 200 days to 100 days in 2027 and ultimately to 47 days.
The automation suite is built to address the increasing frequency of certificate renewals, which will soon require updates every six to seven weeks. CheapSSLWEB's Head of Product stated, "Whether it's a single site or a thousand sites, managing renewals every 47 days is not feasible." The suite aims to turn what could be a compliance headache into a background process, with automated issuance, validation, and renewal features.
Key features include ACME Protocol Support, which connects servers directly to trusted Certificate Authorities without manual intervention; automatic installation that installs the certificate and restarts relevant services; ongoing Domain Control Validation (DCV) that runs automatically; and broad platform support across cPanel, Linux environments (Nginx/Apache), Windows IIS, and multi-cloud infrastructure. The ACME SSL currently supports Domain Validated (DV), Wildcard, and SAN certificates.
Plans start at $19.99 per year, making airtight SSL hygiene accessible even for smaller teams with limited security budgets. Available plans include the RapidSSL Automation Plan at $19.99/yr, Sectigo ACME SSL (CaaS) at $25.00/yr, GeoTrust Automation Plan at $79.99/yr, RapidSSL Wildcard Automation at $139.99/yr, and GeoTrust Wildcard Automation at $289.99/yr. Customers can lock in longer-term pricing while the automation layer handles reissuance on whatever cycle applies.
The announcement comes as the CA/Browser Forum's new validity rules change the landscape of certificate management. With short validity periods, the risk of certificate lapses increases, potentially leading to browser alerts, broken trust chains, and site downtime. CheapSSLWEB's automation suite is designed to eliminate manual renewal reminders and last-minute scrambles, ensuring continuous compliance. The suite is available now at CheapSSLWEB.
