What is Domain Validation?

TrustFactory domain validated certificates are certificates where TrustFactory, the certificate authority, vets whether the purchaser has control of their stipulated domain for which they are ordering a certificate.

The validation is done based on the purchaser's preference of either:

Email validation:

A verification link is sent to the domain's registered email address,

Alternatively a stipulated email address will need to be created with the host to receive the verification link

HTTP validation

A challenge message and response is displayed to the user.

This message needs to be copied into a file on the domain website.

TrustFactory will validate the challenge once the respective message and response is "read" from the stipulated domain.
