Verification and Monitoring

Verification confirms that you control the domain so eCourtDate can route traffic to it and issue an SSL certificate. The Monitoring Report then gives you an ongoing health check.

Verification methods​

When you create a web domain, you choose a verification method:

  • TXT: the default and recommended method. Add a TXT record to prove ownership.
  • HTTP: verify by serving a file or response over HTTP.
  • EMAIL: verify through an email sent to an address at the domain.

TXT verification works for most agencies and is the recommended choice.

Verifying the domain​

  1. In the Console, create your web domain and add the DNS records it provides, including the ownership verification and SSL validation records. See DNS Records.
  2. Wait for DNS to propagate. Changes may take 24 to 72 hours to propagate globally, though many appear within a few hours.
  3. Open the domain in the Console and use Refresh on the DNS Records panel to recheck the latest DNS state.

The Console shows a Domain Status and, once the certificate is issued, an SSL Status. When both are active, the domain is verified and operational. Any verification errors are listed on the DNS Records panel.

Verification timeout​

Verification Needed

Older guidance stated that verification records expire if a domain is not verified within 7 days. This timeout is not enforced by the Console itself and may depend on the underlying provider. Confirm the current behavior with the Help Center. If verification has not completed, contact the Help Center to regenerate the records, then re-add the new records from the Console.

The Monitoring Report​

Open a domain in the Console and click Monitoring Report (also available as View Report) to run live diagnostics. Add addresses to the Monitoring Reports field on the domain to receive daily and weekly versions by email.

For a web domain, the report includes a connectivity check that confirms the domain responds over HTTP and HTTPS, along with a Domain Reputation section that reports a risk score, category flags, security checks, and blacklist results.
