What's Changing
We are is enforcing domain ownership validation across the platform through Domain Ownership Manager (DOM). This rollout is in progress for all customers and will be complete by the end of April 2026. After this rollout, any new domain added to the platform must be validated through DOM (via API, UI, or Terraform) before activation in Property Manager.

Required Action
Review any integration workflows on your account that add new hostnames to the platform (delivery products)— including API-based provisioning, Terraform configurations, and UI-driven workflows — and confirm that each can provide required domain ownership authorization through DOM before enforcement rollout is complete.

About Domain Ownership Manager
DOM automates domain ownership validation across your delivery infrastructure, integrating seamlessly with your existing workflows. It eliminates manual validation steps while strengthening security controls.

Rollout Timeline
January 13, 2026: Enforcement begins for new customers - COMPLETED
February 23, 2026: Enforcement expands to all existing customers - IN PROGRESS
April 2026: Enforcement rollout is complete
Why It Matters
Unauthorized domain usage exposes you to spoofing, credential theft, and brand impersonation. DOM provides automated, verifiable proof of ownership—reducing operational overhead while ensuring only authenticated domains are provisioned.

Validation Methods
DNS CNAME – Recommended for exact domains, wildcards, and default certificates with automatic certificate rotation
DNS TXT – Validate exact domains, wildcards, or apex domains; supports multi-CDN delivery
HTTP – Ideal when DNS zone access is unavailable; supports multi-CDN delivery
Integration Options
Control Center – Manage and validate domains via a dashboard with centralized status and certificate tracking
API – Full RESTful API for programmatic domain management and enterprise automation
Terraform Provider – Infrastructure as Code support for version-controlled DOM configurations
