# Add and Verify a Domain

> Add client domains, publish the delegated CNAME record, and ask DelegatedSSL to check it.

# Add and Verify a Domain

## What does this do for me?

Adding a domain creates its Cloudflare custom-hostname record and gives you the CNAME details needed to delegate future certificate validation.

## Add the domain

1. In the signed-in portal, open **Domains**.
2. Choose **Add Domain**.
3. Enter the domain name. Tags and notes are optional.
4. Choose **Add Domain** to create it.

Use **Bulk mode** to paste domains separated by commas or new lines. The backend accepts at most 100 domains in one bulk request and reports created and rejected entries separately.

## Publish the DNS record

1. Find the domain in the table and expand its row.
2. Under **Verification**, copy both **CNAME Host** and **CNAME Value**.
3. At the service that hosts the domain's authoritative DNS, create a CNAME using those exact values.
4. Return to DelegatedSSL after DNS has had time to propagate.

## Check the result

Choose **Verify DNS** in the expanded row, or open the domain action menu and choose **Verify DNS Delegation**. **Recheck status** refreshes both validation and certificate state from Cloudflare.

The domain table can show **Active**, **Action Needed**, **Blocked**, or **Pending**. Expand a row to see the validation state, certificate issuer, issue and renewal dates when available, and the last reported error.
