Proving you own your website
A DNS record, in your own domain settings. Nothing is uploaded to your site.
Why a DNS record
Carqo gives you a text record to add in your domain provider's own settings. Only somebody who controls the domain can add it, which is what the check proves.
Nothing is written to your website itself, and no file needs uploading to your server.
If it will not verify
DNS changes take time to spread, sometimes a few hours. If it still has not verified after that, open a case and tell us the domain and what your provider showed you.
