Domain Verification

Domain verification proves you own the domain associated with your publisher project. It is required before you can generate API keys or enable monetization.

Why Verification Is Required

Domain verification ensures that only legitimate application owners can integrate with Vexrail and serve ads. This protects advertisers from fraud and maintains the quality of the publisher network.

Verification Process

Step 1: Initiate Verification

1. Navigate to your project detail page.
2. Click Verify Domain in the domain verification banner.
3. Vexrail generates a unique TXT record value for your domain.

Step 2: Add the DNS TXT Record

Add the provided TXT record to your domain's DNS configuration:

1. Log in to your DNS provider's management console.
2. Navigate to the DNS records for your domain.
3. Create a new TXT record:
   • Host/Name: Use @ or leave blank (refers to the root domain).
   • Value: Paste the verification string provided by Vexrail.
   • TTL: Use the default or set to 3600 (1 hour).
4. Save the record.

Step 3: Verify

1. Return to your project on Vexrail.
2. Click Verify.
3. Vexrail checks the DNS records for your domain.

If the TXT record is found, your domain status changes to Verified. You can then generate API keys and enable monetization.

Verification Statuses

Status	Meaning
Unverified	No verification has been attempted.
Pending	A verification token has been generated but not yet confirmed.
Verified	Domain ownership has been confirmed.
Failed	The verification check did not find the expected TXT record. You can retry at any time.

Troubleshooting

• DNS propagation delay -- DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate. If verification fails, wait and try again.
• Wrong record type -- Make sure you are adding a TXT record, not a CNAME or A record.
• Subdomain vs. root domain -- Add the TXT record to the root domain.
• Multiple TXT records -- The Vexrail verification record will not conflict with existing TXT records on your domain.
