Verifying domain ownership the right way

DNS, meta tags, file uploads, or a registrar connection — here's how each method works and when to use it.

Trust is the whole game in a domain marketplace. A 'verified' badge only means something if it's backed by a real check — so we never show one we can't defend.

The simplest method is a DNS TXT record: you add a value we give you, and we confirm it. It works with every registrar and is hard to fake.

If you'd rather not touch DNS, a meta tag on your homepage or a small uploaded file both prove control of the live site. For power users, connecting Cloudflare or GoDaddy with a scoped API token verifies instantly.

Whichever you choose, we log the method and re-check before the sale — so buyers can trust the badge, every time.
