All public CAs are capped by the CA/Browser Forum schedule (200 days in 2026, 100 in 2027, 47 in 2029) regardless of provider. Short 7/14/30-day terms here are a product policy layered on top via rotation, not a special deal from any one CA.

FAQ

Are these prices per certificate or per year?
For one-time orders, per certificate, for the validity period you choose. For subscriptions, one payment covers the whole term — see "Do you offer multi-year certificates?" below.
Do you offer multi-year certificates?
Not a single multi-year certificate — no public CA can issue one; validity is capped industry-wide (200 days now, dropping to 100 in 2027 and 47 in 2029). Our subscription plan is the multi-year equivalent: pay once, and we reissue a fresh short-lived certificate automatically on your chosen cadence for 12 or 24 months.
Why not just run my own renewal automation instead?
If you're already running certbot, acme.sh, or cert-manager, you probably don't need this — that's a completely reasonable, free way to solve the same problem, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. The subscription is for the opposite case: you want certificates that rotate automatically without standing up and maintaining that tooling yourself, or you're on a platform where running an ACME client directly isn't practical.
What counts as an additional hostname?
Any Subject Alternative Name beyond your primary domain — e.g. www.example.com alongside example.com, or a second subdomain.
Do you support wildcard certificates?
Yes — enter *.example.com as your primary domain or an additional hostname. Wildcards require DNS validation (adding a TXT record) since there's no way to prove control of every possible subdomain over HTTP; we'll select DNS validation for you automatically once a wildcard is in the order.
Can I change my duration after ordering?
Not on an issued certificate — you'd place a new order. You can change duration freely while you're still in the order flow, before Review.
