# Certificate Manager

IONOS offers the Certificate Manager, a tool that simplifies the management of Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) certificates for websites and applications. It streamlines the process of obtaining, installing, and renewing certificates, ensuring secure web traffic and the protection of sensitive data transmitted between users and web servers.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** The auto-renew of the SSL Certificate feature is available on a request basis and only via the [<mark style="color:blue;">API</mark>](https://api.ionos.com/docs/certificatemanager/v2/). To access this feature, please contact your sales representative or [<mark style="color:blue;">IONOS Cloud Support</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/support/general-information/contact-information).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/~/revisions/AMiYziCllTKB2y2lmONY/network-services/certificate-manager.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
