  6. In the Verify your domain section, copy the CNAME record details provided (Type, Host, and Value).

  7. Log in to your domain registrar or DNS provider (e.g., GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Namecheap) and add a new CNAME record using the details you just copied.

  8. Return to Hinto AI's Publishing settings and click the refresh icon to verify the domain. Once verified, the status will change to Domain Verified.

Important Note

DNS changes can sometimes take up to 24 hours to propagate across the internet, though it's often much faster. If your domain doesn't verify immediately, please wait a few hours and click the refresh icon again.
