### Renewal

Currently, at certificate renewal, Cloudflare attempts to automatically perform DCV via HTTP if your certificate matches certain criteria:

- Hostnames are proxied.
- Hostnames on the certificate resolve to the IPs assigned to the zone.
- The certificate does not contain wildcards.

Note that settings that interfere with the validation URLs can cause issues in this case. Refer to [Troubleshooting](/ssl/edge-certificates/changing-dcv-method/troubleshooting/) for guidance.

:::note

If a hostname becomes unreachable during certificate renewal time, the certificate will not be able to be renewed automatically via Delegated DCV. Should you need to renew a certificate for a hostname that is not resolving currently, you can send a PATCH request to [the changing DCV method API endpoint](/api/resources/ssl/subresources/verification/methods/edit/) and change the method to TXT to proceed with manual renewal per [the TXT DCV method](/ssl/edge-certificates/changing-dcv-method/methods/txt/).

Once the hostname becomes resolvable again, [Delegated DCV](/ssl/edge-certificates/changing-dcv-method/methods/delegated-dcv/) will resume working as expected.
