Replace a DigiCert DV hostname with docstoc
Issue new LE certs. Do not export DigiCert private keys.
Why there’s no “Connect your account” button
You cannot “import” a live certificate private key into docstoc — and you should not email one to anyone. Issue a fresh Let’s Encrypt certificate on the same hostname, then retire the old renewal path.
Exporting from DigiCert
- 1List DV hostnames you do not need OV/EV on.
- 2Issue in docstoc first (overlap is normal).
- 3Point HTTPS at the new cert via your host.
- 4Let the DigiCert order lapse only after you confirm.
Once you have the files
Add the domain in docstoc, publish the DNS TXT record we show you, wait for issuance, leave the TXT in place for renewals, then cancel the old vendor so you are not billed twice.
Just doing this once?
One hostname on Pro.
Making it the new default?
Business covers more domains, still with no separate per-certificate SSL fee.
Where your files end up
Your website host and DNS provider stay where they are. docstoc is not a CDN or nameserver — only ACME issuance and renewal.
