How can I complete the domain control validation (DCV) for my SSL certificate?
- Email validation
The most ordinary and well-known option to confirm the domain ownership. During the certificate activation, you will need to select the email address to which an approval email will be sent. Due to regulations of Certificate Authorities, it is only possible to use either a domain whois record or one of the following domain-related generic emails to receive an approver email:
admin@example.com
administrator@example.com
postmaster@example.com
webmaster@example.com
hostmaster@example.com
After the enrollment process is completed on our site, you will receive an email from the Certificate Authority to the selected email address.
- HTTP-based validation
