# How to find your private key | ||

:description: Information on handling SSL Private Keys | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Private keys are generated after purchasing, renewing, reissuing or managing domains on an SSL certificate. During these processes, | ||
the private key is only shown once and you will need to copy it at this stage and store it securely, ideally on the device(s) it will be installed on. | ||
|
||
If the key isn’t copied or securely stored the SSL Certificate will need to be completed and reissued (at no extra cost). | ||
We recommend only keeping the private key until the installation is completed on all servers where it is required. | ||
|
||
## Windows servers | ||
|
||
If you have a Windows server you will still need to copy the private key and store it securely as above, | ||
as this is needed to download the PFX required for installation on Windows servers. | ||
|
||
## FAQ: | ||
|
||
### How do I reissue my certificate if I no longer have the private key? | ||
|
||
Please go to: **Glass > Services > SSL Certificates > Domain Certificate > “Reissue Certificate”** | ||
|
||
### Where should I keep my private key after copying it? | ||
|
||
We recommend storing your private key onto the server(s) that you will be installing the SSL on. |
