SSL certificate expired?

I just realize the forum doesn't have a subforum to report site issues... The SSL certificate has expired long ago.....What do you do to avoid SSL certificate getting expired? I have seen plenty of big companies letting the certificates going expired on production....

You simply obtain a new certificate from the CA. I use this CA to get free signed SSL certs (they last for 1 year, so you have to obtain a new certificate annually which isn't much of a pain for me, I just resubmit my certificate signing request or CSR and install the cert on my servers.)

There are many way to handle SSL cert expiration.

Document when your certs will expire and update them when needed
Set up email alerts with your CA
Set up a monitoring tool to check and send alerts (Nagios, 3rd party, etc.)
Wait for someone to complain - probably the most common lol

Looks like https://www.techexams.net redirects back to Free MCTS MCITP CCNA CISSP and Network+ practice exams, study notes and forums so it should not really matter. I assume the admins don't want to spend the money on maintaining an SSL for the site. I would even consider buying one as gratitude for the help I have received here. $25 for a 5 year from https://www.cheapssls.com

I would be more than willing to add a few bucks to get the root domain and www secured for 5 years.

From an admin standpoint, I don't see the point in HTTPS if I'm not conducting financial transactions, or collecting sensitive user info on my site... but that's just me...
