Steps to add and verify a domain

  3. Enter your domain's name, then click Add. The domain verification screen will open.

  5. Steps for TXT record verification
    1. Sign in to your domain hosting site and open your Domain Management page to update the DNS records.

      1. In the Type field, select TXT.
      2. In the Name field, enter '@' or leave it blank.
        Note: If you are verifying a subdomain, enter the subdomain name. For example, the host name for "zo.zylker.com"will be "zo".
      3. In the Value field, copy the corresponding TXT record value from Zoho Directory and paste it here.
      4. In the TTL field, set the minimum possible value recommended by your domain host.
      5. Wait for an hour or two so the values can propagate.
      6. Return to the Verify Domain screen in Zoho Directory, then click Verify.
Note: If you face any issue performing the steps in your domain host, consult their help documents or their support team.
