Why verification matters before listing
Marketplace buyers expect proof that you control the domain being sold. Verification prevents stale listings, protects escrow workflows, and ensures parking traffic routes to the correct seller account.

How to Verify Domains for Marketplace Listing
Compare NS, TXT, and CNAME verification paths so you can list premium domains on globNIC without breaking existing DNS or delaying go-live.

Step-by-step checklist
- 1
Add the domain in your member dashboard
Create or import the domain under Member → Domains so globNIC can issue a verification token and track listing status.
- 2
Open the verification page for the domain
Navigate to /member/domains/{domain}/verify and review the three supported methods: NS, TXT, and CNAME.
- 3
Pick NS for full parking and DNS hosting
Set nameservers to ns1.globnic.com and ns2.globnic.com at your registrar when you want AI sales landers, SSL, and globNIC-managed DNS.
- 4
Pick TXT or CNAME when nameservers must stay put
Add the _globnic-verify TXT record or root CNAME to parking.globnic.com when Cloudflare or registrar DNS cannot change.
- 5
Run Verify Now and confirm listing status
After DNS propagation, click Verify Now. Verified domains unlock marketplace listing, parking pages, and DNS management.
Nameserver verification (recommended for parking)
NS delegation points public DNS to globNIC. You get HTTPS on custom parked domains, Sophia broker chat, analytics, and full DNS editing after verification. Plan for a DNS export before switching if mail or apps depend on existing records.
TXT and CNAME when you cannot move NS
TXT verification adds a token at _globnic-verify without touching traffic routing. CNAME verification points the apex or www host to parking.globnic.com — on Cloudflare, set the record to DNS only (grey cloud). Both paths prove ownership while leaving your current stack intact.
Cloudflare auto-configure option
If the domain uses Cloudflare, the verify page offers one-click DNS setup with a scoped Edit zone DNS API token. The token is not stored; you still confirm verification after propagation completes.
Frequently asked questions
Practical answers for operators moving domains onto globNIC.
How long does domain verification take?
Many NS and TXT changes propagate within 15–30 minutes, but registrar caches can take up to 48 hours. Retry Verify Now after TTL expires if the first check fails.
Can I list a domain before verification completes?
Draft records can exist, but public marketplace and parking experiences require a verified status. Finish NS, TXT, or CNAME verification before expecting buyer-facing pages.
Which verification method should I choose?
Choose NS when you want globNIC to host parking traffic and DNS. Choose TXT or CNAME when nameservers must remain at Cloudflare, Route53, or your registrar but you still need marketplace proof.
Does verification unlock DNS management?
Yes. Verified, parked, or verified TXT/CNAME statuses unlock per-domain and bulk DNS tools under /member/dns once the zone is active.
