Website installation

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Open the correct domain

    Sign in to DirectAdmin, open File Manager, then browse to domains, your domain name and public_html. Confirm you are editing the exact hostname registered to the seal.

  2. 2

    Choose the display location

    Open the footer, page template, PHP layout or HTML file that controls the location where the seal should appear. Download a backup before editing.

  3. 3

    Paste the seal code

    Paste the Recommended JavaScript embed from the VerifySeal customer portal. A footer or trust section is normally the best location.

  4. 4

    Save and test

    Save the file, clear any website cache, open the public page and click the seal to confirm the live certificate and hostname match.

Domain ownership callback

Complete domain validation on DirectAdmin

Use the unique callback code displayed on the customer order. Never reuse a code from another domain or application.

  1. 1

    In the domain public_html directory, enable display of hidden files if needed and create a folder named .well-known.

  2. 2

    Inside .well-known, create verifyseal.txt and put the callback code shown on the VerifySeal order on its own line. Add other VerifySeal codes on separate lines.

  3. 3

    Open the required HTTPS callback URL in a private browser window and confirm it displays the required code as an exact line.

Testing checklist

Confirm the installation is working

01

Visible

The complete 300 × 106 seal is visible and not cropped on desktop or mobile.

02

Clickable

The seal opens the VerifySeal public certificate rather than a copied local image.

03

Current

The certificate status is verified, the expiry is current and the details match.

04

Correct domain

The registered production hostname matches the website displaying the seal.

Platform notes
  • Do not place the callback file in the main account public_html when an addon domain has a different document root.
