What Happens Next

TXT record updates typically propagate within a few minutes to 24 hours, depending on DNS caching and TTL settings.

Common Issues

1. TXT record not verifying
   • Confirm the TXT value is copied exactly
   • Wait for DNS propagation before verifying again
2. Unable to add TXT records
   • Make sure the domain is using Network Solutions nameservers
   • If custom nameservers are configured, DNS must be managed at that provider
