Create a TXT record
Use the table and instructions below to create a DNS record to verify a domain that is registered at your domain name registrar. For general instructions about verifying a domain, see Verify a domain at any domain name registrar.

Host name Text value TTL
{0} {1} {2}

To create a TXT record to enable %BRAND_ONLINE_SERVICES_DYNAMIC% to verify your domain, do the following.

  1. Sign in to your domain name registrar's website, and then select the domain that you're verifying.
  2. In the DNS management area for your account, select the option to add a TXT record for your domain.
  3. In the Host or Host name box for the domain, type or paste {0}.
  4. In the value box, type or paste {1}. Depending on the website, this box may be labeled Text, Value, Address, Points to, or TXT record.
  5. Where it asks for TTL information, type {2} to set TTL to 1 hour.
  6. Save your changes, and then sign out of your domain name registrar's website.

After you create the TXT record and sign out of the website, return to %BRAND_ONLINE_SERVICES_DYNAMIC% to verify the domain.
Note: Typically it takes about 15 minutes for your changes to take effect. But it can take up to 72 hours for the DNS record that you created to propagate through the DNS system.
