Domain Verification

This step-by-step tutorial will guide you through the process of verification custom domain in the Proxy-as-a-Service dashboard. It allows you to easily add a new domain to our dashboard.

Before You Get Started​

Is this guide for you?​

Make sure this guide is definitely for you. Before you can add a custom domain, you should have it purchased.
If you don't have a purchased domain, you can do it on the OVHcloud website, for example.

Handling differences​

Keep in mind that our tutorial is prepared under the Cloudflare Dashboard. In case you use another DNS or Domain provider - the steps may be slightly different.
However, despite the differences, adding DNS records usually looks very similar in all management dashboards.

  3. If everything was successful, the domain should be visible in the list of Verified Domains.
