2) Once you add your txt records with your domain provider, click on the confirmation box and proceed to verify records. You will now get one A Record and CNAME value. Additionally add the CNAME, if you want to add the WWW subdomain to the website (Ex: www.theparag.com) .
2) Copy the Key and Value of the A-record. Configure the A-record for your Domain in your DNS provider.
