Validation scope

For each domain you want to validate in DOM, you select a validation scope, one of the following:

ScopeWhat it coversCan be submitted from:
HOST (www.example.com)Only the domain specified.Property Manager, or Domain Ownership Manager
WILDCARD (*.example.com)Any hostname at the same level as the wildcard.
a.example.com is covered.
b.a.example.com is not covered.
example.com is not covered.
Domain Ownership Manager only
DOMAIN (example.com)Any hostnames under the domain, regardless of the level of subdomains. example.com, a.example.com and a.b.example.com are covered.Property Manager, or Domain Ownership Manager

Adding a wildcard domain in Property Manager (*.example.com) will create a DOMAIN level validation record in DOM.
