SSL Certificate Monitoring India

When an SSL certificate expires, web browsers display prominent security warnings such as 'Your connection is not private' or 'Not Secure' to visitors. This immediately drives traffic away, damages customer trust, and can cause significant revenue loss for e-commerce websites. Search engines like Google also penalize sites with expired SSL certificates, causing ranking drops. Additionally, expired certificates break secure API connections and payment gateways, potentially halting business operations entirely.

We send SSL expiry alerts at three stages: 30 days before expiry (early warning to plan renewal), 14 days before expiry (reminder to take action), and 7 days before expiry (critical alert requiring immediate attention). Notifications are delivered via email and WhatsApp, ensuring you never miss an alert. You can also customize these thresholds based on your renewal workflow requirements.

Certificate chain validation ensures that all intermediate certificates between your SSL certificate and the trusted root Certificate Authority (CA) are present and correctly configured. A broken or incomplete certificate chain causes SSL errors in certain browsers and devices, even if your SSL certificate itself is valid. Our monitoring verifies root CA trust, intermediate certificate presence, chain completeness, and correct ordering to prevent these issues.

Yes, we support monitoring of all SSL certificate types including Domain Validated (DV), Organization Validated (OV), Extended Validation (EV), wildcard certificates (*.example.com), multi-domain (SAN) certificates, and Unified Communications Certificates (UCC). Each certificate type is monitored for expiry dates, chain validity, and protocol security regardless of its complexity.

Yes, we monitor certificates from all Certificate Authorities including Let's Encrypt, DigiCert, Sectigo (formerly Comodo), GlobalSign, GoDaddy, and others. Let's Encrypt certificates have a 90-day validity period, making automated monitoring especially critical. We track auto-renewal success, verify that renewed certificates are properly installed, and alert you immediately if a renewal fails.

HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is a security header that forces web browsers to only connect to your website using HTTPS, preventing protocol downgrade attacks and cookie hijacking. Our monitoring checks for HSTS header presence, correct max-age values, and includeSubDomains directives. Without HSTS, even sites with valid SSL certificates remain vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks during the initial HTTP connection.

SSL certificates are checked during every monitoring cycle along with your regular uptime checks. This means your SSL status is verified multiple times per day depending on your monitoring plan interval. Each check validates the certificate expiry date, chain integrity, TLS protocol version, and cipher suite configuration. This frequent checking ensures that any SSL issues are detected and reported promptly.

Yes, we support SSL monitoring on any port, not just the standard HTTPS port 443. This is useful for monitoring SSL certificates on mail servers (ports 465, 993, 995), LDAP servers (port 636), custom application servers, and development environments running on non-standard ports. Simply specify the port number when adding your monitoring target.
