How It Works
Add a single TXT record to verify control
§ 01
Get DNS Record
Call our API with the domain. We return a unique TXT record value to add to your DNS.
§ 02
Add TXT Record
Add the TXT record to your domain's DNS settings. Works with any DNS provider.
§ 03
Check the Record
When the record is in place, call the check endpoint. You have three checks, and DNS changes can take a while to spread, so check once the record resolves.
Skip Manual Setup
Don't want to add records manually?
Connect your DNS provider and we'll create the TXT record automatically. Works with Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Route53 and 51 more providers.
