RapidSSL Plan + Automate combines the trusted RapidSSL Domain Validated (DV) certificate with full certificate lifecycle automation, making it the ideal solution for websites, servers, and applications that require reliable HTTPS security without the burden of manual certificate management.

Unlike a traditional SSL certificate, RapidSSL Plan + Automate automatically handles every stage of the process: certificate issuance, domain validation, installation, renewal, and deployment. Once configured, the service keeps your certificate up to date without manual intervention, helping eliminate the risk of service interruptions caused by expired certificates.

This product is currently still being implemented. Unlike our other certificates, the service will not be activated immediately after the order is completed, but within the following 24 hours.

What is ACME?

ACME (Automatic Certificate Management Environment) is the industry-standard protocol for automating SSL/TLS certificate management. It allows servers and applications to communicate securely with the Certificate Authority to request, validate, install, and renew certificates automatically, without requiring administrators to perform repetitive manual tasks.

Why ACME automation matters

The SSL industry is moving toward increasingly shorter certificate validity periods to improve Internet security. As certificates require more frequent renewal, manually managing them quickly becomes time-consuming and increases the risk of unexpected certificate expiration and website downtime.

With ACME automation, your infrastructure continuously monitors certificate status and renews certificates automatically before they expire. This not only saves valuable administrative time but also ensures uninterrupted HTTPS protection, reduces the possibility of human error, and keeps your services compliant with current browser security requirements.
