Certificate lifetimes are shrinking to 90 days β and 47 days are on the horizon. Xaccel automates the entire SSL/TLS lifecycle: unlimited certificates, auto-renewal, and one dashboard to manage every client.
The CA/Browser Forum is pushing certificate lifetimes down from 398 days to 90 days β and 47-day certificates are coming next. For every domain you manage, that means 8+ renewals per year instead of one. Manual management is no longer an option.
An expired certificate doesn’t just show a browser warning. It kills e-commerce transactions, breaks API integrations, triggers compliance failures, and destroys client trust overnight. One missed renewal can cascade into an outage that costs more than a year of managed certs.

What We Deliver
Automated Certificate Lifecycle Management
Enterprise-grade SSL/TLS management that eliminates manual renewals, prevents outages, and scales with your business.
Zero-Touch Auto-Renewal
Certificates are issued, validated, and renewed automatically via the ACME protocol. No CSR pasting, no email validation, no calendar reminders. It just works.
Unlimited Certificates
Pay per domain, not per certificate. Issue as many certs as you need β wildcards, single-domain, multi-domain β at no additional cost during the subscription period.
Centralized Management Portal
One dashboard for all your accounts, domains, and clients. Create ACME accounts, manage subscriptions, view transactions, and control access from a single pane of glass.
DV & OV SSL Certificates
Domain Validation for speed and Organization Validation for trust. Both certificate types are fully supported through the same automated workflow.
Per-Client Control
Each client gets their own ACME account. Suspend, reinstate, or deactivate individually. Full visibility into domains, billing, and certificate status per client.
Works Everywhere
Compatible with any ACME client β Certbot, acme.sh, win-acme. Works with standalone servers, Plesk, cPanel, DirectAdmin, and custom infrastructure.
How It Works
From Setup to Auto-Renewal in Three Steps
We handle the heavy lifting. You and your clients get always-valid certificates with zero operational burden.
1
We Create Your ACME Account
Xaccel provisions your ACME account linked to our Sectigo partner platform. You receive your External Account Binding (EAB) credentials β the keys that connect your servers to automated certificate issuance.
2
We Add Your Domains
Tell us which domains need certificates. We add them to your subscription through our management portal. FQDNs, wildcards, multi-domain β all supported. This is where billing starts, per-domain, pro-rated.
3
Certificates Auto-Issue & Renew
Your ACME client (Certbot, acme.sh, or built-in panel support) uses the EAB credentials to request and renew certificates automatically. Domain validation, issuance, and installation happen without human intervention.
Every industry Xaccel serves has regulatory mandates that require valid, properly managed TLS certificates.

IRS Publication 4557 and the FTC Safeguards Rule require encryption of taxpayer data in transit. An expired certificate on a client portal is a direct compliance violation β and a finding in your next audit.

ABA Model Rules 1.1 and 1.6 require "reasonable efforts" to protect client confidentiality. Formal Opinion 483 specifically addresses cybersecurity obligations. Always-valid TLS is the minimum standard for client portals and communications.

PCI-DSS requires TLS 1.2+ for any system processing payment card data. Booking platforms, payment gateways, and customer portals must maintain valid certificates at all times β or risk losing payment processing privileges.

Cyber insurance underwriters increasingly require evidence of encryption and certificate management. Expired certs can void coverage and disqualify renewal. Automated management is the easiest way to check the box β permanently.

“We were managing 120+ certificates across client servers manually. Two expired on the same weekend and took down a client’s e-commerce site during their busiest month. Since switching to Xaccel’s automated SSL management, we haven’t thought about certificate renewals once. It just works.”

We handle everything: ACME account creation, domain configuration, server-side setup, monitoring, and incident response. You and your clients never touch a certificate. Ideal for MSPs who want to offer SSL as a managed service without the operational overhead.
For IT teams that want direct control, we provide access to the Xaccel CaaS Portal. Create accounts, manage domains, view transactions, and generate EAB credentials yourself. We maintain the platform β you operate it on your schedule.
