After activating your certificate, the Certificate Authority (CA) must verify that you own the domain . You can choose one of three DCV methods:
- Email Validation: Receive a confirmation link at an authorized address (e.g.,
admin@yourdomain.com). - HTTP/HTTPS File: Upload a specific text file to your website's server.
- DNS CNAME/TXT: Add a unique record provided by Hostaday to your Advanced DNS settings . Once the verification is complete, your certificate will be issued and sent to your email.
