How can I use DNS to verify my domain with Google Search Console (Webmaster Tools)?

When setting up Google Search Console, you will be asked to verify your domain. A recommended method, which will work as long as you use our vertigohost nameservers, is to add the Google verification code as a TXT record for your domain.

To do so, go to the "Manage DNS" section of your control panel. At the bottom of the "Manage DNS" page you will see 3 fields that will allow you to add new records:

  • Leave the “Name” field blank.
  • Select “TXT” for Type
  • Now you must enter the record provided by Google in the "Data" field.

Save the changes and go back to Google to perform the verification. DNS updates on our nameservers are usually instant, but on rare occasions they can take up to 2 minutes.
