&quot;But here&#x27;s the thing: why did Geotrust just go ahead and revoke the certificates for all .PW domains without any warning?&quot;<p>Why indeed? My first notice of this was a client unable to use the app even though the cert was issued less than 6 months ago and was a 2 year cert. Like the author I also initially thought client configuration issue until I tried.<p>I contacted the reseller who didn&#x27;t have an answer right off the bat but had to contact Geotrust. After 15 minutes of fooling around I got an answer and a refund. So yes, they issued me a refund. Great. My clients had downtime. I had to drop what I was doing &quot;right then&quot; and install new certs. Finally I had to walk clients through clearing old certs from their browser as they were getting the scary &quot;Untrusted!&quot; popup. Fortunately this is a private app for a specific client so there weren&#x27;t a bunch of calls.<p>Geotrust&#x27;s handling of this was ridiculous. No email, no notification... I&#x27;ll certainly never get a cert from then again over this incident.
