How about getting certificates from multiple, geopolitically diverse providers up front? It&#x27;ll be an extra expense but lets you monitor your certs&#x27; revocation status and, should cert #1 get revoked, update your configs to use cert #2 and so on.<p>That might even be a good idea for CloudFlare to implement in their SSL offerings[0] if they don&#x27;t already. They could offer multiple SSL certs from various providers (for an extra fee even) and the whole process would be completely transparent to your origin server, which can run its own self-signed cert.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cloudflare.com&#x2F;ssl" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cloudflare.com&#x2F;ssl</a>
