Revoking your SSL certificate cancels it, and immediately removes HTTPS from the website. Depending on your Web host, your website might display errors or become temporarily inaccessible. The process cannot be reversed.

Revoking is not necessary if your website moved servers or you lost your private key. In most situations, you can easily re-key your SSL certificate. For more information, see Re-keying an SSL Certificate.

To Revoke an SSL Certificate

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. Click SSL Certificates.
  3. Click Launch for the certificate you want to revoke.

  5. Click the common name of the certificate you want to revoke.
  6. Click Revoke.
  7. Select a reason from the Revocation Reason menu.
  8. Click Revoke to revoke your certificate.

If you revoke your certificate within the first 30 days, please contact Customer Service. You might be eligible for a refund.
