Domain Verification Problems

Troubleshoot DNS verification issues and common problems.

Updated December 9, 2025

Verification Keeps Failing

Wait Longer

DNS propagation: 5-30 minutes typical
Maximum: Up to 48 hours
Try again after 1 hour

Check TXT Record

Verify record is correct:

Type: TXT (not A, CNAME, etc.)
Name: @ (or subdomain name)
Value: Exact verification code
No extra spaces or quotes

Check DNS Provider

Test if record exists:

Windows:

nslookup -type=TXT yourdomain.com

Mac/Linux:

dig TXT yourdomain.com

Look for your verification code in results.

Can't Access DNS

Subdomain Verification

For blog.example.com:

Use blog as Name (not @)
Full verification code as Value
