How to Add & Verify Domains

You will need to be assigned the Global Administrator Role in order to complete these steps, we can only assign this role to the account holder or the account holder can request another user by raising a support ticket

Please note some domain name providers (GoDaddy, 1&1 Ionos etc.) now support an authorised (Auto Configure) method for adding DNS records, SMS currently doesn't support this method for our own DNS, if you are with a provider who does support this method the steps are slightly different, please contact our support team for further assistance.
