# Apr 28, 2026 – Domain Ownership Manager in General Availability

Domain Ownership Manager (DOM) is generally available to all Akamai customers and configured in enforce mode platform-wide. Proving domain ownership is now a required step before any new hostname can be onboarded to the Akamai network.

Every customer on the platform — new and existing — has DOM available in their account by default, with no opt-in or onboarding step required. From this point forward, no new hostname can be configured on Akamai without a successful domain validation. Existing hostnames already on the network are not affected — enforcement applies at the point of onboarding.

DOM directly mitigates a real class of platform abuse — domain squatting, dangling CNAMEs, and wildcard takeover — by ensuring only accounts with proven ownership of a hostname can serve traffic for it.

DOM is accessible through Control Center and the [DOM API](https://techdocs.akamai.com/domain-validation/reference/api). Customers onboarding via Terraform or CLI need to complete validation through the DOM UI or API for now — native Terraform and CLI integration is on the roadmap.
