Parts underlined as green are record types and parts underlined as purple are record names.The texts in the grey boxes below are record values. These details are different for every domain therefore please treat these screenshots as an example.
This information is very important to configure the DNS records in NetworkSolutions properly.

Simply click repeat the process for each of the records.
Now after you successfully configure all the DNS records, you may need to wait up to 48 hours for all the records to be updated in the DNS zone. This is an inevitable process due to how the propagation of DNS records works.
After that time please go back to the Prowly domain authentication screen and click on Verify configuration.
After a short while you should be able to see the screen that your domain has been authenticated properly.
