Before you start

Fill in your own values
Enter the address you added in Atlas, and paste the TXT value Atlas shows for it. Every record on this page and on the provider guides then shows your exact values. What you enter stays in this browser.
For example portal.yourfirm.com, without https:// in front of it.
Copy it from the card of your address in Atlas. It starts with atlas-portal-verification=
Your domain is read as yourfirm.com. If your DNS provider shows a different domain at the end of the name field, enter only the part of the name before that domain.
