You will need
- Your domain using our name servers
- The record details from the service you are connecting
Open Zone Editor
In cPanel, open Zone Editor under Domains.
Choose Manage
Click Manage next to the domain you want to change.
Add the record
Click Add Record, choose the type (A, CNAME, MX or TXT) and enter the name and value exactly as given.
Save and test
Save. Changes usually show within an hour, depending on TTL.
Tips
- Copy and paste values to avoid typing mistakes.
- Do not delete existing MX or TXT records unless you know what they do.
If something goes wrong
The record does not seem to work
Check the domain uses our name servers; if not, add the record where your DNS is actually managed.
Google verification still fails
Wait an hour and try again; make sure the TXT value has no extra spaces.
