CDN:What do I do after individual test certificates (free) expire?

Last Updated:Apr 01, 2026

In most cases, Alibaba Cloud CDN automatically renews individual test certificates (free) four days before expiration. However, renewal applications submitted to certificate authorities (CAs) can fail. To prevent HTTPS interruptions, upgrade to a paid certificate before the free certificate expires.

Options

Option 1 (recommended): Upgrade to a paid certificate

Purchase an individual test certificate (pro) or an official certificate from SSL Certificates Service. Paid certificates provide better technical support.
