## Custom Certificate
80+
81+
If you plan to use a [custom certificate](security-certificates), the Hostname Pre-Validation method can be used to prove ownership of the hostname before binding the custom certificate.
82+
83+
You can do this by:
84+
85+
1. Enable Pre-Validation for the Hostname.
86+
2. Add the TXT record provided to your Domain Name System (DNS) settings. The record will prove ownership of the domain.
87+
3. Upload a custom certificate and set a binding to the Hostname.
88+
4. Wait a couple of minutes then disable Pre-Validation for the Hostname. The status will now show "Manual" for the Hostname.
