Domain verification via the email in WHOIS will no longer be available

(October 7, 2024) The popular method of verifying domain ownership will become unavailable as of November 1, 2024. It will no longer be possible to use WHOIS contacts for verification, but we have an even better solution for you.

Set a permanent address for domain verification

For domains, we recommend specifying an email address through a DNS record that will serve for every Domain Control Validation (DCV) conducted for the domain. You set this record once, and confirmations will always be sent to this address.

The DNS record is of type TXT, and instructions for setting it up can be found in the article Domain validation with custom email address.
