I want to verify domain ownership via DNS record like this :
There said to sign in to the domain name provider. I am confused how to sign in to the domain name provider. So I get some reference and the reference says to use https://www.whoishostingthis.com/
I check our domain and I get like this :
Is the domain name provider cloudflare? Do I have to log in to cloudflare?
But my colleague said that our website uses the portal azure
Which is true? Login to cloudflare or login to portal azure? I want to copy the TXT record into the DNS configuration
All your domain's DNS records (including TXT record) are stored in its DNS zone. Where its active DNS zone is located is determined by the domain's name servers. In turn, a domain's name servers are set with the domain's registrar.
Based on your screenshot you provided, your Nameservers (NS) are pointing to CloudFlare, so this means you would need to add your TXT record there.
Here is the article for adding a TXT record: https://cloud.google.com/identity/docs/verify-domain-txt

My problem is I have created a subdomain successfully on my website through cpanel and also put an index.html file in it to test it. But when I run it in browser it is not showing contents of index.html file. It shows following errors:
DNS address could not be found and ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED errors. Can someone please tell me how to resolve this problem?
You must be missing A record pointing to your sub domain in your domain panel.
Record Point to TTL
A sub 300
Please check the DNS servers for your domain. You might be using external DNS servers. When you create a subdomain on cPanel, a DNS entry is created in the DNS zone for that subdomain pointing to your server ip. If your domain uses external DNS servers then those servers will be queried to find the ip address for that subdomain. In this case you should manually edit your DNS zone and add an A record for that subdomain to point to your server's ip).
Thanks for all the answers. Here is how solved my problem. The problem was that I have purchased a hosting with one domain name. I also have another domain purchase but there is no hostng on it. I had pointed the second domain to first domain which also has hosting support. So what I was doing is I was creating subdomain on second one on the first domain. But it was not recognising it and showing DNS problem. So I made an entry A record entry in the second domain about the subdomain which I wanted to create on it. And then in 5 minutes DNS was updated and issue was resolved.
After adding the subdomain, go to the DNS editor of the domain and add a CNAME record for the subdomain.
For example:
NAME TYPE VALUE
--------------------------------------------------
subdomain.example.com. CNAME example.com.
I want to redirect my subdomain to specific URI without making any changes to my code.
I found the domain forwarding services from Bigrock, they have a sub-domain forwarding service which specifies all subdomains will be redirected as "subdomain.mydomain.com to yourdestinationurl/subdomain/"
I replaced yourdestinationurl, with www.mydomain.com but it's not working.
Am I doing something wrong?Is there any alternative way to do this?
You may create the subdomain in the DNS Manager/Domain name zone file and point it to any URL using 'URL-Redirect' DNS record.
In other words, you need to login into the account of your domain name registrar (if the domain name is delegated to the default nameservers) or into your hosting cPanel (if you have a hosting plan). Then you need to find where to configure DNS records and configure URL-Redirect (also called URL-Forwarding) for your subdomain.
There is no need to have any plugins.
I have two hosting accounts (Personal one and a work one). I am doing some testing and would like to create a subdomain of a work domain (manage.domain.com) and host it on my personal account. Currently, my personal host is through 1and1 and is dedicated while the work one is shared with GoDaddy.
Work
I have gone into go daddy and created the subdomain. I have also added DNS records such as A, AAAA AND NS (i did not record a CNAME). I have noticed that if is type manage.domain.com it is redirecting to my personal server. However, it is directing to the blank admin page of the root of the server (which is maintained using Plesk).
Personal
Using Plesk I added the website (domain.com) and created the subdomain (manage.domain.com). I have also updated the websites hosting access using Plesk and assigned it the default values of my personal account. Using Plesk I also set the subdomain to the particular location of the files I want to test. However, I cannot get my server to recognize the address and redirect it to the proper location.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

You can just create:
in personal account domain(not subdomain) manage.domain.com
on domain.com add DNS record of type A, name "manage" and IP address of personal hosting:
After that "manage.domain.com" will resolving to hosting of your personal account and can be accessed because such domain exists.
I figured it out
What i did above was correct expect do not change the name servers on the work DNS(godaddy).
Add the website to plesk - it will give you an error about not being able to control the DNS settings which you have already adjusted on the original server (godaddy)
Add a subdomain of the website.
*** Ensure the subdomain is pointed to the correct folder within your server
Done
I've recently setup a new Tomcat instance on Google Compute Engine and I can access my Tomcat instance via its IP address in the browser.
I've now setup a Cloud DNS entry and had my domain registrar point my domain name to the Cloud DNS servers. However this was 2 days ago and I still can't access my website via the domain name.
The WHOIS record shows the following Name Server entries
Name Server ns-cloud-e1.googledomains.com
Name Server ns-cloud-e2.googledomains.com
Name Server ns-cloud-e3.googledomains.com
Name Server ns-cloud-e4.googledomains.com
I've also setup an A record in the Cloud DNS console based on the feedback of my domain registrar. Is there anything else I need to setup in order for all this to work?
[EDIT 1] Having a look again at the instructions provided by Google it seems the name server names they wanted me to use have changed to
ns-cloud-d1.googledomains.com.
ns-cloud-d2.googledomains.com.
ns-cloud-d3.googledomains.com.
ns-cloud-d4.googledomains.com.
I've asked my registrar to make the change in case this is the problem.
[EDIT 2] My registrar has updated my DNS records and they resolve to Google's servers. However my website still doesn't show when entered into a browser I get an NXDOMAIN error, which implies my domain doesn't exist. Does anyone have a basic example of what the Cloud DNS settings should look like? Do I need to setup A records or CNAME records?
[EDIT3] My setup is shown here (domain name and IP addresses have been faked for screenshot)
Thanks in advance.
Andy.
OK, I finally worked out the problem.
In the screenshot in my question the following changes were required.
1) Replace the A record for *.andtest.com.au with an A record for just andtest.com.au
2) Replace the www.andtest.com.au A record with a CNAME record for www.andtest.com.au which points to andtest.com.au
Now when I enter www.andtest.com.au in a browser, I see my Tomcat web page.
I've registered my domain about a month ago (It's a .com, so I need to wait 60 days before being allowed to transfer the domain, which I will do as I'm fed up with 1and1's service)
I created an Amazon S3 bucket with my domain name: example.com and www.example.com.
All my Amazon S3 settings are in order, I've enabled website hosting, I have an index document...
In 1and1, I've set my redirect destination for example.com to my S3 bucket endpoint.
When I hit save: "Operation Failed, The redirect URL is invalid."
What am I doing wrong?
You do not have to wait 60 days.
There are two different services that are commonly confused because providers often market then together: domain registrar services and domain hosting.
You can change your hosting provider at any time, by changing the configuration options with the current registrar. This change typically takes effect almost immediately, though conventional wisdom is that it may require up to 48 hours to take effect globally.
Create a new "hosted zone" in Route 53 for your domain. Take note of the four "awsdns" name servers that Route 53 assigns.
Log in to your registrar's admin portal and find the option the change your authoritative name server configuration. Replace the registrar's default name servers with the four provided by Route 53.
You will then use the Route 53 console to create your DNS records, including the appropriate "Alias" records pointing your domain to the S3 web site endpoint.
After the 60 days, you can change the registrar to Route 53, or any other registrar you like, continuing to use the authoritative name servers assigned to your domain by Route 53.
Route 53 is the simplest option for DNS hosting when you are using S3 for static website hosting (or CloudFront or Elastic Load Balancer) simply because of the tight integration provided by Alias records, which offer capabilities that CNAMEs can't and other DNS hosting providers can't, because they don't have direct access to the operational internals of AWS.
It sounds like you configured your domain name to use a Redirect instead of a CNAME record. Create a CNAME record to your AWS domain.
Here are some instructions:
http://help.1and1.com/domains-c36931/manage-domains-c79822/dns-c37586/enter-a-cname-record-for-your-domain-a643600.html
Sometimes people don't want to create CNAMEs for their root domain and prefer to redirect from example.com to www.example.com
