In this video, we’ll show you how to complete the DCV process for SSL using the ‘Upload a validation file’ (HTTP-based) method.
Once uploaded, the validation file should be accessible via this link:
http://yourdomainname.com/.well-known/pki-validation/file_name.txt or https://yourdomainname.com/.well-known/pki-validation/file_name.txt if you already have the https:// connection enabled on your server.
Ensure to also upload the file for the necessary subdomains, including the ’www.’ subdomain.
