On the next page, click on ADD DOMAIN.
Type the name of your domain and click on ADD.
In the next dialog, choose the DNS (CNAME) option to verify the ownership of your domain, and click on NEXT.
You will be presented with the information you need to create the CNAME record in your DNS. Don't close the dialog.
Step 2: Create the CNAME record in your DNS
