The Domains Management section is designed to provide a centralized platform for managing all domains, monitoring their status, and handling Domain Control Validation (DCV) processes to ensure streamlined and secure domain verification.

Benefits of Domains Management

Enhanced Control and Visibility:

  • Enhanced Control and Visibility:

    • Users gain a single platform to view and manage all domains, improving efficiency and reducing the risk of lapses in domain verification or expiration.

  • Streamlined Verification Process:

    • The ability to adjust DCV methods and track status simplifies the management of compliance requirements and keeps domains secure.

  • Secure Domain Addition:

    • Adding new domains with ownership verification helps maintain the security of the domain portfolio and prevents unauthorized additions.

    • By centralizing these functions, the Domains Management section helps organizations maintain a secure, organized, and fully validated domain portfolio, crucial for digital security and operational efficiency.

Manage and View Domain Information

  • Detailed Domain Information:

    • For each domain, users can access detailed information, including domain name, creation date, verification details, and ownership records. This allows users to have complete visibility over each domain’s setup and history.

  • Editing Domain Information:

    • Users can modify or update domain-related details directly from this section, ensuring that the information is always current and accurate. This is particularly useful when domain ownership changes or updates are needed for compliance or business requirements.

Domain Control Validation (DCV) management

  • Flexible DCV Method Changes:

    • The Domain Control Validation (DCV) method can be altered if a different verification method is preferred or required. Users can select from multiple DCV methods such as Email, DNS, or HTTP, depending on what best suits the domain and organization’s needs.

  • Sending for Approval:

    • Once the DCV method is chosen, users can initiate the approval process. This is essential for completing the domain verification process and is done with a single click, streamlining the workflow.

  • Tracking DCV Status and Expiry Date:

    • For each domain, the DCV status (e.g., Pending, Approved, Rejected) and Expiry Date of the validation are prominently displayed. This allows users to stay informed on when validations need renewal and if any issues arise in the approval process, they can be addressed promptly.

Adding a New Domain

  • Creating and Verifying New Domains:

New domains can be added through this feature, where they undergo a verification process to confirm domain ownership. This includes setting up the domain’s information and initiating the DCV process to ensure the domain is validated correctly.

  • Domain Ownership Verification:

    • As part of the new domain creation, verification is conducted to confirm that the domain belongs to the requesting organization. This security step prevents unauthorized domain additions and enhances trust. To Know more about DCV method, click here.

  • DCV Method Overview:

    • To understand the available DCV methods, users can click on the provided link, which explains the options (Email, DNS, or HTTP) and their specific requirements. This resource ensures that users select the most suitable DCV method for their needs.

Domain List and Status Overview

  • Comprehensive Domain Listing:

    • All domains that have been created are listed here in an organized format, allowing users to view and access each domain quickly. This includes both active and inactive domains.

  • Status Indicators:

    • Each domain displays a status indicator (e.g., Verified, Pending, Expired), providing users with an instant overview of the verification and operational state of each domain. This feature helps in identifying any domains that may need immediate attention for renewal or verification.
