  1. You need to get a new certificate from your host. We are in a transitional period where older certificates are often SHA-1, but newer certificates will likely be SHA-2.

    For GoDaddy you need to Re-Key your certificate

    1. List item
    2. Log in to your Account Manager.
    3. Click SSL Certificates.

    5. Next to the certificate you want to use, in the Actions column, click View Status.
    6. Click Manage.

    8. In the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) field, paste your new CSR, including —-BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST—- and —-END CERTIFICATE REQUEST—-.
