DNS setup

One TXT record to prove ownership, one A or CNAME record to route traffic.

Two records, added at your DNS provider (not in GoloLink):

  1. TXT record - proves you own the domain. Your links won't work until you also complete step 2.
  2. Routing record:
    • Root domain (e.g. yourbrand.com) - add an A record, not a CNAME. On Cloudflare, set it to DNS only (grey cloud), not proxied - a proxied record breaks verification.
    • Subdomain (e.g. go.yourbrand.com) - add a CNAME instead. Don't add a separate A record alongside it.

The exact values to use are shown on the domain's row in Settings → Domains once you add it. See How long DNS changes take for what happens next.
