why is this so complicated? other registrars make dns records easy to configure, this makes no sense and i cant figure out how to add a txt record....

i try to add txt record and keep getting this error:

Please enter at least one A/AAAA/CNAME/Forwarding record.

but i am not adding those just a txt record

D'oh. I was adding a subdomain record instead of a domain record!

Hi,

For Google Apps verification, you need to verify the top level domain, ie no subdomain. However, in DNS I can't see how to add a txt record with no subdomain.

Even with * as the subdomain, it doesn't verify it.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

You can do that on the DNS page.

How do I set up DNS for my domain?

Before adding DNS records, determine which name servers your domain is using:

If your domain uses third-party name servers: Contact your hosting provider to add DNS records, as all DNS configurations are managed directly on the designated name servers.
If your domain uses Dynadot DNS: Your domain is automatically using our name servers, so manual name server configuration is not required. You can add DNS records directly through the Dynadot DNS page by following these steps:

Sign in to your Dynadot account.
Select "My Domains" from the left-side menu bar and click "Manage Domains" in the drop-down.
Check the box next to your domain name(s) and click on the "Action" button.
Choose "DNS Settings" from the "Action" list.
On the DNS Settings page, select the "Dynadot DNS" setting from the top drop-down menu.
Choose the "Record Type" you want to use from the drop-down menu, then enter the IP Address or Target Host of your web server in the text box.
- Domain Record (optional) - If you have been instructed to add an "@", this simply means that the record should be entered under the "Domain Record (optional)" section. Do not enter the "@" symbol itself. Supported record types:
  - A record
  - CNAME record
  - AAAA record
  - TXT record
  - MX record
  - CAA record
  - ANAME record
  - Forward
  - Stealth Forward
  - Email Forward
- Subdomain Records (optional) - Subdomains are prefixes added to your domain name. For example www.mydomain.com or blog.mydomain.com, specify the subdomain name (www) or (blog) then enter the target server or IP address. Supported subdomain record types:
  - A record
  - CNAME record
  - AAAA record
  - TXT record
  - SRV record
  - CAA record
  - MX record
  - Email Forward
  - Forward
  - Stealth Forward
  - NS
- If you have an Email Server or MX Record available for your domain email, enter the priority (otherwise known as distance) and the hostname in the subsequent text boxes.
Press the "Save Settings" button to save your changes.

Please be aware that it might take some time for your name server changes to propagate.

Note:
If your domain is configured with Dynadot Email Setting, please disable the email settings first. Once disabled, you can proceed with resetting your DNS records.
