Paul, the initial steps for godaddy are as follows;<br><br>·  Log in to your account for <a href="http://yourdomain.com">yourdomain.com</a> at <a href="http://www.godaddy.com">www.godaddy.com</a> by clicking the My Account tab. <br>
<br>·  Under the Domains header, click (Advanced Details) to the right of <a href="http://yourdomain.com">yourdomain.com</a>. <br><br>·  Under the DNS Manager header, click Launch.   ########please note that if under DNS manager you have  (DNS Manager:  (Not hosted here)), then it means you have name servers listed instead and therefore, it is the host for the name servers that needs to now add the txt section below.<br>

<br>·  In the TXT (Text) section, click Quick Add. <br><br>·  In the Host field, enter @. <br><br>·  In the TXT Value field, copy and paste the following unique security token: <br><br>google-site-verification=random_google_generated_code<br>
<br>·  Leave the TTL drop-down as the default selection. <br><br>·  At the top or the bottom of the page, click the Save Zone File button. <br><br>·  Click OK in the pop-up.<br><br>Have you gone past this?<br><br>Regards,<br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);padding-left:1ex">First, read the instructions as they give you various alternatives to authenticate. If you are not the one hosting your NS, ask your host to make changes for you. Typically, it involves adding a TXT record that google provides and then moving on from there.<br>
