Enter the domain name and click "create".

Verify a domain

You will see instructions how to verify the domain. Copy the TXT record value and create a TXT DNS record at your domain registrar's admin panel with this value.

After that click verify. DNS record value might take time to propagate so that our system might not see the TXT record immediately.

Set the CNAME DNS record

After the domain is verified you will see a CNAME DNS record that you need to set up at your domain registrar's admin panel.

You can also save a URL with a domain that is not verified, but the URL will not render the needed page upon a request even iif youu set up the domain with the CNAME record.
