Question
How do I re-new my SSL with name cheap and Ghost
I have a site running ghost and an SSL from name cheap installed and working.
The cert is soon to expire and I have paid to get it renewed, but I am a bit lost as to what next.
Do I just delete everything and go through the same set-up as the first time round, or is there an easier route?

Like you said, you’ll have to go through the process again. Expiration dates are hard-coded in certificates, so you’ll have to generate a new certificate signing request (and optionally a new private key, although you can use your existing one) and send it to NameCheap. They’ll generate a new certificate you can install on your server.
