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
blogas Name (not @) - Full verification code as Value
