# Add a DNS record

### How to add a DNS record?

To connect your domain to the agency platform, you need to add a DNS record through your domain host. This is usually your domain registrar, web hosting provider, or a dedicated DNS management service.

#### Step 1: Log in to your DNS host account

* Access the account where your domain is managed
* Common providers include GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, and similar platforms

#### Step 2: Go to DNS configuration settings

* Locate the DNS settings, DNS zone, or DNS management section
* This is where you can view and edit DNS records for your domain

#### Step 3: Add a new CNAME record

* Choose the option to add a new CNAME record
* You may see fields labeled as Type, Name/Host, and Value/Target/Destination

#### Step 4: Enter the required values

* In the Host/Name field, enter the CNAME Record (your chosen subdomain)
* In the Value/Destination/Target/Points to field, enter the CNAME Destination provided in your agency dashboard

Ensure there are no typos in the values—incorrect entries will prevent domain verification.
{% endhint %}

#### Step 5: Save the record and allow time for propagation

* Save the changes once the fields are correctly filled
* Propagation may take a few minutes to several hours depending on your DNS provider

{% hint style="warning" %}
DNS record updates are not always instant. If domain verification fails, wait a little longer and try again.
