Updated 25 October 2026 1 min read

Which DNS record is right for your domain and how to create it at common providers.

To confirm that the domain is yours, you create a TXT or CNAME record. Which one you see after adding the domain.

TXT record

A TXT record named _linkharbor-challenge with the value shown. It changes nothing about your existing website.

CNAME record

A CNAME points your subdomain straight to LinkHarbor. It suits subdomains such as links.yourcompany.com, not the root domain.
