Hey there, @SeaNodes_Hosting

Welcome to our Support Forums! We are a small team work to support millions of sites each day, and we address concerns as quickly as possible. Thanks for understanding.

As @coelmay stated, we need you to create a TXT record so that we can verify ownership and complete this for you. Should there be a reason you are unable to create a TXT record, please let us know.

[coelmay]

Please reconsider your choice of language in the future @SeaNodes_Hosting.
