  1. Log in to your domain registrar’s website and access your DNS settings.
  2. Create a new TXT record with the following information:
    • Name: Enter “@” or leave it blank.
    • Value: Enter the CompanyID provided to you.
  3. Save the changes to your DNS settings.
  4. Wait for the DNS changes to propagate, which can take up to 24-48 hours.
  5. Enter the domain name below and click on the “Verify” button.

Please note that the exact steps to create a TXT record may vary depending on your domain registrar.
