# Check a hostname's DNS and certificate, and activate it

`POST https://studio.gtable.app/v1/suites/{suiteId}/domains/{hostname}/verify`

Moves a hostname one step forward and says where it is.

`pending`: looks up the TXT record `domains.attach` asked for. When it shows, the hostname becomes `provisioning`, Cloudflare is validating it and issuing a certificate, which needs the CNAME to point here and takes minutes, and `certificate` carries both states and anything Cloudflare complained about. `active`: it serves, and starts routing to this suite. Safe to call as often as you like while DNS propagates.

Requires the `schema:write` scope. Operation `domains.verify`. MCP tool `domains_verify`. CLI, once published: `gtable domains verify`.
