How to Verify Your Domain

How to Verify Your Domain

Purpose

Domain verification proves that you own or manage your domain name. This step is commonly required when setting up services such as:

• Microsoft 365 Email
• Google Workspace
• Email marketing platforms
• Website tools
• SSL/security services
• Domain-related business accounts

Step 1: Log in to Your Domain Account

Log in to the company where your domain name is registered.

Go to:

www.gracecomputer.biz

Then log in to your customer account.

After logging in, go to the section for:

Domains / My Domains / Domain Management

Select the domain name you want to verify, then look for:

DNS Management or Manage DNS

From there, you can add the verification record provided by the service, usually a TXT record.

Step 2: Find the Verification Record

The service you are setting up will provide a verification record.

Most commonly, it will be a TXT record.

Example:

Type	Name / Host	Value
TXT	@	MS=ms12345678

or

Type	Name / Host	Value
TXT	@	google-site-verification=abc123xyz

Step 3: Add the TXT Record to DNS

Inside your domain DNS settings:

1. 1. Choose Add New Record
   2. Select TXT as the record type
   3. Enter the Name / Host
      
      • • Usually: @
      • • Sometimes: your domain name
        • Enter the TXT Value
          
          • • Copy and paste the exact value provided
            • Save the record
            • Important: Do not change or delete existing DNS records unless instructed. Incorrect DNS changes may affect your website or email service.

Step 4: Wait for DNS Update

DNS changes may take time to update.

Typical waiting time:

• Sometimes: 5–30 minutes
• Commonly: 1–2 hours
• In some cases: up to 24–48 hours

Step 5: Click “Verify”

Return to the service that requested domain verification.

Click:

• • Verify
  • Check Verification
  • Confirm Domain or similar button
  • If the record has updated successfully, the domain will be verified.

If Verification Fails

Please check the following:

Issue	What to Check
Wrong record type	Make sure the record type is TXT
Wrong host/name	Try @ if the provider asks for root domain
Extra spaces	Copy and paste carefully
DNS not updated yet	Wait and try again later
Wrong DNS provider	The domain may be using DNS somewhere else, such as Cloudflare
Existing conflicting record	Do not delete unless confirmed by your IT provider
