SSL certificates must be renewed periodically and to do this our certificate provider Amazon Web Service (AWS) needs to have permission to renew the certificate. In order to give permission you will need to add two CAA records to your DNS settings for your domain. See the examples below: | Record name/host name | Record type | Record value/destination | | --- | --- | --- | | @ | CAA | 0        issue      "amazontrust.com" | | @ | CAA | 0        issue      "letsencrypt.org" | | @ | CAA | 0        issuewild      "amazontrust.com" | | @ | CAA | 0        issuewild      "letsencrypt.org" | You must add ALL of the records. You can check which Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) records already exist by using the Google Apps Dig Tool below. Just type in your domain name (without the www) and hit the “CAA” button: [https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/dig/#CAA/](https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/dig/#CAA/) Once you have added these records, and they are visible via the Google Apps Dig Tool, your certificate should renew automatically. As with any DNS change, it can take up to 24 hours for changes to propagate across the internet. *More information from Amazon Web Services (AWS) [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/troubleshooting-caa.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/troubleshooting-caa.html)*  - [Pitchero Club website](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-club-website#main-content) - [Design](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-club-website#design) - [Site Content](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-club-website#site-content) - [Teams](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-club-website#teams) - [Membership](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-club-website#membership) - [Shop and Payments](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-club-website#shop-and-payments) - [Match Fees](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-club-website#match-fees) - [Payment Tools](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-club-website#payment-tools) - [Facility Booking](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-club-website#facility-booking) - [Communication](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-club-website#communication) - [Packages](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-club-website#packages) - [Settings](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-club-website#settings) - [Domain](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-club-website#domain) - [Pitchero Club app](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-club-app#main-content) - [Pitchero Club app - Members](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-club-app#pitchero-club-app-members) - [Pitchero Club app \> Admins](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-club-app#pitchero-club-app-admins) - [Pitchero User Account](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-user-account#main-content) - [Account Settings](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-user-account#account-settings) - [Account Membership](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-user-account#account-membership) - [Account Payments](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-user-account#account-payments) - [Account Schedule](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-user-account#account-schedule) - [Account Messages](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-user-account#account-messages) - [Pitchero League](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-league#main-content) - [Access](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-league#access) - [Content](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-league#content) - [Match Info](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/pitchero-league#match-info) - [The Fundraising Club Lottery](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/the-fundraising-club-lottery#main-content) - [Help For Lottery Players](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/the-fundraising-club-lottery#help-for-lottery-players) - [Help For Affiliate Clubs](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/the-fundraising-club-lottery#help-for-affiliate-clubs) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.pitchero.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Pitchero_Logo-Blue.png?width=118&height=24&name=Pitchero_Logo-Blue.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge) Pitchero Help Centre Copyright © 2026, The Pitchero Group
