Domain verification takes place through a unique TXT record added to your domain provider's DNS settings. This method serves as an alternative when CNAME verification fails or isn't supported.

Common scenarios for using TXT verification:

• CNAME record verification hasn't worked after 72 hours
• Domain provider doesn't accept CNAME records
• Unable to modify existing CNAME records
• Verifying subdomain connections

How to Add a TXT Record for Domain Verification:

1. Access DNS Settings

• Log into your domain provider account
• Locate DNS management settings (may be labeled as "Zone File Settings" or "DNS Manager")

2. Add TXT Record

• Copy the unique verification code from your DNS Settings panel
• Create a new TXT record with these values:
  • Host Name: @ or leave blank
  • Record Type: TXT
  • Points to: Your unique verification code

3. Verify Connection

• Return to DNS Settings
• Click Refresh to update records
• Check for green "Correct" label in Current Data column
• Allow up to 72 hours for complete verification

Important Notes:

• Verification may take up to 72 hours
• Use exact verification code provided
• Ensure proper record formatting
• Keep existing DNS records intact

This verification method works for both domains and subdomains, providing a reliable alternative when standard CNAME verification isn't suitable.
