Domain Not Verifying
What to do when your domain verification is stuck or failing.
If your domain verification is not completing, follow these steps to diagnose and resolve the issue.
Common Causes
DNS Records Not Added Correctly
The most common reason for verification failure is incorrect DNS records. Double-check that:
- All required DNS records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) are added to the correct domain/subdomain
- There are no typos in the record values
- The record type (TXT, CNAME) matches what Reloop expects
DNS Propagation Delay
DNS changes can take up to 72 hours to propagate globally, though most providers update within minutes. If you just added the records, wait a few hours and try again.
Conflicting Records
Existing DNS records can sometimes conflict with Reloop's records:
- Duplicate SPF records: You can only have one SPF record per domain. If you already have one, merge Reloop's
include:_spf.reloop.devinto your existing record. - CNAME at root domain: Some providers don't allow CNAME records at the root domain. Use a subdomain instead.
Troubleshooting Steps
Verify DNS records
Use a DNS lookup tool to confirm your records are visible:
dig TXT yourdomain.com
dig CNAME reloop._domainkey.yourdomain.comCheck for propagation
Use DNS Checker to verify that your records have propagated globally.
Re-verify in dashboard
Go to Reloop Domains and click the Verify button again.
Contact support
If verification still fails after 72 hours, contact Reloop support with your domain name and a screenshot of your DNS records.
