Is the renewal price for Cloudflare Wildcard SSL the same as the initial purchase price?

This depends on which 'Cloudflare Wildcard SSL' you refer to: * **Cloudflare Universal SSL:** This service is free and automatically renews without any cost or intervention required from the user. * **Custom Wildcard SSL (from a third-party CA, uploaded to Cloudflare):** The renewal price is determined by the Certificate Authority (CA) from which you purchased the certificate, not Cloudflare. It is common for CAs to offer promotional or discounted pricing for initial purchases, meaning the renewal price in subsequent years might be higher than what you paid initially. It is crucial to check the specific pricing and renewal policies of your chosen third-party CA. Cloudflare itself does not charge a 'renewal fee' for facilitating the use of your custom certificate, only the ongoing Cloudflare plan subscription.
