Your hosting provider manages all the DNS records, and you should add a record on the provider's side.

Before starting

See the details required to create a DNS record

Go to Stape Admin → open container → Settings → Domains (Tagging Server URLs). You will need data from columns Type, Host, and Value to create a DNS recording.

Configure DNS record for Domain.com

1. Log in to your Domain.com Account.

2. On the left-side menu, click Domains → Settings (next to your domain name) → Advanced Tools → dropdown menu → Manage.

3. Click "+ ADD RECORD" and fill in the required fields with data from your Stape account.

4. Click “ADD” to save changes.

For more details on adding a DNS record, see Domain.com’s guide.

Check DNS records

DNS record verification usually happens within a few hours after adding the record but may take up to 72 hours in some cases.

To check if your record is verified, use Dig (DNS lookup):

1. Enter the hostname (without https:// and other extra characters)

2. Choose the type of report (e.g., A, CNAME).

If the DNS record is verified, you will see TTL (Time to live) and Data on record, as shown in the screenshot below.

You will receive a “Record not found” message if the DNS record fails to verify (the screenshot below).
