Changing Your SSL's Common Name (Standard & Deluxe SSLs Only)

If you have a Standard or Deluxe (High Assurance) SSL certificate, you can change its "common name," which is the primary domain name which it encrypts.

Additional Details

  • With Deluxe SSLs, you can only change the common name; you cannot change the organization's information.
  • You must go through the domain verification process for your new common name's domain name.
  • Requesting a new common name does not affect your SSL's expiration.
  • Your old common name can create secured connections for 72 hours after you complete the change to your common name.
  • If your certificate is attached to one of our shared hosting services, changing your certificate's common name does not change the associated service's domain name. You must change the service's domain name separately (more info).

To Change Your Standard or Deluxe SSL's Common Name

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. Click SSL Certificates.
  3. Next to the certificate you want to use, click Launch.
  4. From the Manage menu, select Change Common Name.
  5. Complete the request for your new common name, depending on the type of certificate you're using (more info).
