To provide domain verification:
1. Choose a domain name you own that you want to be publicly associated with your validator. You must run a public-facing HTTPS server on port 443 of that domain and you must have access to the private key file associated with that server's TLS certificate. (Note: [TLS was formerly called SSL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security).) As a precaution against DDoS attempts, your domain name should not resolve to the ip address of your validator.
1. Choose a domain name you own that you want to be publicly associated with your validator. As a precaution against DDoS attempts, your domain name should not resolve to the ip address of your validator.
2. Serve an [`xrp-ledger.toml`](xrp-ledger-toml.html) file at your domain, and complete the [domain verification](xrp-ledger-toml.html#domain-verification) steps.
2. Serve an [`xrp-ledger.toml`](xrp-ledger-toml.html) file at your domain, and complete the [domain verification](xrp-ledger-toml.html#domain-verification) steps. Once you have completed these steps, your validator should be visible to the livenet [explorer](https://livenet.xrpl.org/network/validators) or any other site that monitors the validator network and supports decetralized domain verification.
3. Share your validator's public key with the public, especially other `rippled` operators. For example, you can share your validator's public key on your website, on social media, in the [XRPChat community forum](https://www.xrpchat.com/), or in a press release.
4. Submit a request to have your validator listed in XRP Charts' [Validator Registry](https://xrpcharts.ripple.com/#/validators) using this [Google Form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScszfq7rRLAfArSZtvitCyl-VFA9cNcdnXLFjURsdCQ3gHW7w/viewform). Having your validator listed in this registry provides another form of public verification that your validator and domain are owned by you. To complete the form, you'll need the following information:
1. Find your validator public key by running the following on the validator server.
$ /opt/ripple/bin/rippled server_info | grep pubkey_validator
Provide the value returned in the **Validator Public Key** field of the Google Form.
2. Sign the validator public key using your web domain's TLS private key. The TLS private key file does not need to be stored on your validator's server.
$ openssl dgst -sha256 -hex -sign /PATH/TO/YOUR/TLS.key <(echo YOUR_VALIDATOR_PUBLIC_KEY_HERE)
Sample output:

Provide the value returned in the **SSL Signature** field of the Google Form.
3. Using the [`validator-keys` tool](https://github.com/ripple/validator-keys-tool/blob/master/doc/validator-keys-tool-guide.md) (included in `rippled` packages), sign the domain name.
$ validator-keys --keyfile /PATH/TO/YOUR/validator-keys.json sign YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME
Sample output:
E852C2FE725B64F353E19DB463C40B1ABB85959A63B8D09F72C6B6C27F80B6C72ED9D5ED6DC4B8690D1F195E28FF1B00FB7119C3F9831459F3C3DE263B73AC04
Provide the value returned in the **Domain Signature** field of the Google Form.
5. After submitting the completed Google Form, you'll receive an email from XRP Charts that tells you whether your domain verification succeeded or failed. If your domain verification succeeds, XRP Charts lists your validator and domain in its [Validator Registry](https://xrpcharts.ripple.com/#/validators).
<!--{ ***TODO: For the future - add a new section or separate document: "Operating a Trusted Validator" -- things that you need to be aware of once your validator has been added to a UNL and is participating in consensus. We should tell the user what to expect once they are listed in a UNL. How to tell if your validator is participating in the consensus process? How to tell if something isn't right with your validator - warning signs that they should look out for? How to tell if your validator has fallen out of agreement - what is the acceptable vs unacceptable threshold? Maybe provide a script that will alert them when something is going wrong.*** }-->
