Concepts

Concept pages covering WebVH Hosting’s service identity, DID lifecycle, access control, and hosting domains.

The mental model behind WebVH Hosting: how services get and rotate their own identity, how a hosted DID moves through its lifecycle, how domains are served, and who can do what. Read these alongside the Quickstart, or come back to them when you need to know why something behaves the way it does.

ConceptWhat it explains
DID lifecycleThe stages a hosted DID goes through, from reservation and publishing to sync, resolution, rollback, transfer, and deletion, and who owns and signs it.
Hosting domainsHow one deployment serves DIDs on several domains, how the domain for a new DID is chosen, and what disabling or purging a domain does.
Service identityWhich services hold their own did:webvh identifier, which keys it carries, how it is provisioned, and how its keys rotate without cutting off peers. Self-hosted detail.
Roles and accessHow callers authenticate, what the Admin, Owner, and Service roles can each do, how owners are limited to domains and quotas, and how sessions expire. Applies to self-hosted deployments. On the appliance, you manage access in your VTA.
