DNS Ownership verification
candywrapper58 said 1 year ago:
I am trying to verify that I own my domain name so that I can move name servers. I tried this on Tuesday 4/24 mid day and cannot get verification from where I want to move it to that I own the domain. Domain name is cchomerealty.com. Any help or guidance would be appreciated. I am trying to get it MS Office 365. Thanks

What are the exact steps that they require to verify the domain? With the information, we would be happy to walk you through the DNS edits.

Jason – here are the steps that I followed.
1. On the Go Daddy website, at the top of the page, find the Username / Customer # box. Type your user name, and in the Password box, type your password.
2. Click Log In.
2. Go to your account area.
On the far right of the green header bar, click the black My Accounts tab.
3. Click the domain name that you’re verifying.
1. On the Products tab, at the end of the DOMAINS row, click Launch.
2. On the Domains page, find the domain name that you’re verifying.
3. Click the domain name. The Domain Details page opens in a new tab in your browser.
4. Go to the page where you can work with your DNS records.
1. On the Domain Details page, under the DNS Manager section, click Launch (you may need to scroll down to see the link).
2. The Zone File Editor page opens.
5. Add your TXT record.
1. Click the Add Record option, which is under your domain name in the upper left.
2. When you click Add Record, the Add DNS Record dialog box appears.
3. Click the down arrow for the Record type: box, and choose TXT (Text).
•For TXT Name:, type the following: @
•For TXT Value:, type or paste the following: MS=ms86010633
•For TTL:, leave the value set to 1 Hour.
4. Click OK.
6. Save the new TXT record for your domain in your zone file.
1. To save your new TXT record, click Save Zone File, a black button in the upper right of the Zone File Editor page.
2. Click OK.
3. You’ll see the Zone File Saved dialog box, which means it worked and you’ve created the TXT record.

Thanks for the details, I apologize for the delay in a response. Your steps look good, and from what I can tell, the domain is resolving to Microsoft’s nameservers. If you still need assistance, let us know.
