DOMAIN VALIDATION PROCESS

1
Chose your validation method

In order to validate your ownership of the domain to certify, we offer 3 different methods:

  • VALIDATION THROUGH EMAIL
    An email with a confirmation link is sent to an email address directly attached to the domain name. Usually that is an email like hostmaster@yourdomain.com or admin@yourdomain.com. We also accept email addresses included in the WHOIS entry of your domain.

  • VALIDATION THROUGH FILE UPLOAD
    This method is preferable if you can't access any of the mentioned domain mailboxes. After you have placed your order, we will sent you a file including a special validation code. Upload that file into the special folder on your domain's webspace, e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com/.well-known/pki-validation/XYZ.html and as soon as our servers are able to access the file, your certificate gets issued.

  • VALIDATION THROUGH DNS (CNAME ENTRY)
    Instead of uploading a file, it is also possible to create a CNAME record in the DNS zone of your Domain. The required codes will be sent to you, after you have placed your order. This method is especially useful for automation in combination with our REST API.

Although we ask you to specify a validation method when you place your order, it is possible to switch between these methods later.

2
Install your certificate

As soon as the domain validation through one of the methods above has been completed, the certificate is issued. Usually the whole process takes less than 10 minutes. The certificate file is sent to you by email and can be downloaded in your account at any time.

Certificate installation depends a lot on the server software you are using. Please refer to our Knowledge Base for instructions for common server platforms.

3
Replace your certificate (optional)

During the validity period of your certificate it is always possible to change certificate details, including the domain name by submitting us a new CSR. Replacement certificates are free of charge, but adopt the expiration date of the former certificate. A re-validation and reinstallation according to steps 1 and 2 is required.

4
Renew your certificate (optional)

Upon expiration it is easy to renew a certificate for another year through your customer account or by using our auto-renewal subscription service. This triggers a new validation process and only if that is successful, another period is charged. This is purely optional and non-binding, all contracts end after the 1 year validity period if no renewal validation is made.
