Visit your domain's DNS settings to create a new CNAME record based on your assigned properties. Terms and steps vary slightly depending on the DNS provider, but you will typically find a form similar to the following.

Once the DNS record as been added, it may take some time to propagate (ranging from seconds to days). We will automatically monitor the verification, but you may also try a manual verification, and click the Verify button.

Even after a successful verification, be sure to retain the DNS record to maintain your domain's verified status.

You can always return to your Verified Domains list to review or configure additional domains.
