What to Expect During Verification
The verification process can take up to 48 hours for DNS changes to propagate.
To ensure a successful connection:
A custom subdomain has been added to ensure that your records don't interfere with existing domains
Your DNS changes must propagate, meaning that Internet Service Provider (ISP) nodes across the world must update their caches with your new DNS information.
