After saving a domain, the DNS Configuration table appears with columns for Type, Name, and Value. Each cell has a copy button — use it to avoid typos. Two types of records are shown:
A record — Type: A, Name: @ (for the root) or your subdomain (e.g. quote), Value: 216.150.1.1. This points the domain at the platform.
Verification record(s) — Type: TXT, Name and Value shown dynamically. These are issued by Vercel to confirm domain ownership. Copy the exact values shown — they are unique to your domain.
Add the A record with host @ pointing to 216.150.1.1. Add the TXT verification record(s) exactly as shown. Remove any other A or ALIAS records on @ that point elsewhere — conflicting records prevent verification.
Add the A record with the subdomain as the host (e.g. quote, not quote.yourbrand.com — most registrars want just the subdomain part). Add the TXT verification record(s) as shown. The rest of your main domain's DNS is unaffected.
Set TTL to the lowest value your registrar allows — usually 300 or 600 seconds (5 to 10 minutes). A low TTL means changes propagate faster and verification passes sooner. You can raise it after the domain is verified.
