Domain verification methods (NS or CNAME)
Verify your domains by using any of these methods: name servers (NS) or CNAME record: Learn more.
You can use our CNAME record on thewwwsubdomain, or on all subdomains using a wildcard value like
*instead of
www.
Important: CNAME is an advanced technical feature. We strongly recommend using our nameservers (NS) instead; NS is easier to use with a simpler setup.
Tips:
- CNAME records cannot be used at the root domain (
example.com
). - CNAME records can be used for subdomains (
www.example.com
). - Most DNS providers (e.g., registrars) offer the option to redirect the root ("@") to the "www." subdomain.
- CNAME flattening is another option at the root, offered by some DNS providers.
- Alternatively, use our A record at the root.
