Securing websites with an SSL certificate ensures safe and encrypted communication between users and servers. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates help establish trust by verifying the website owner’s identity and enabling secure connections via HTTPS. However, before an SSL certificate can be issued for a domain, the Certificate Authority (CA) requires a validation process to confirm the rightful ownership or control of that domain.
SSL certificates require approval through an admin email address (e.g., `admin@domain.com`) as the only method to verify domain ownership and issue a new SSL.
This ensures that only individuals with administrative control over the domain can request the certificate, reducing the risk of fraud, spoofing, and man-in-the-middle attacks.
By using admin emails, Certificate Authorities maintain strict security standards and protect the integrity of secure website communications.
But don’t worry; if you have your emails with Adventure, we can help you arrange this or point you in the right direction if you host elsewhere.
