There have been some significant changes to the SSL certificates supplied via ServerTastic. The most important point to make is that these changes do not affect any certificates already issued and installed.

SSL invite URLs
All invite URLs issued from today now have a validity of 365 days from purchase. This means you must use the invite URL to generate your SSL certificate within 365 days of placing your order. This also applies to bulk purchases. Failure to use the invite URL within 365 days will result in the invite expiring and becoming invalid. No refunds or replacements will be issued for expired invite URLs.

Geotrust certificates now use intermediate
Geotrust certificates such as the QuickSSL Premium used to be issued from a root CA certificate. This meant that when installing your certificate there was no additional "CA Bundle" to install. However Geotrust certificates issued from today will require an intermediate certificate. This intermediate certificate will be supplied with your certificate during purchase.

The installation process may have changed slightly depending on the certificate and server OS. Please make sure you read the fulfilment email completely before commencing installation.

2048Bit minimum key size
From 2013 all SSL certificates must have a minimum 2048bit key size. Therefore if you order a certificate that extends beyond this then the CSR must be generated with a key size of at least 2048bit. You can order certificates using a smaller key size that expire before this date however you will receive a warning during the order process.

Root migration
Many SSL certificates are being migrated to alternative root certificates with a minimum 2048bit key size. This does not affect any existing SSL certificates. However re-issues and new certificates will be issued from the new root. There is no action required by customers during the root migration.

PKCS7 downloads
Certificates can now be downloaded as PKCS7 (which will include the intermediate CA) from the SSL control panel. 

Plesk/Apache bundle downloads
Certificates can now be downloaded as Plesk/Apache bundles from the SSL control panel. 

RapidSSL Certificates
RapidSSL and RapidSSL wildcard certificates will continue to be issued from a root certificate until 23 September 2010.
