+# Description: Perform domain validation by creating a TXT record on the domain
+# from certbot. This script is designed to work with
+# Dreamhost.com's API and certbot running on Ubuntu 20.04. Note
+# that it has not been extended to handle multiple domains.
+#
+# Domain validation is the process of validating you have control
+# over a domain. Services like Let's Encrypt can then issue you
+# domain validated TLS certificates for use to secure websites.
