Adding domain verification key (DVK) in your DNS TXT record is one of the best ways to protect your website from being hijacked by cyber-criminals. A DVK is a unique string of numbers and letters that you generate and store yourself.

When a visitor tries to reach your website, their computer sends a request to your DNS provider, asking for the IP address of your website. Your DNS provider then looks up the DVK in its database and returns the IP address that corresponds to it.

If you want to add a DVK to your DNS record, you first need to generate a random string of numbers and letters. You can use a tool like www.dnsstuff.com to generate a DVK for your domain. Once you have generated your DVK, you need to copy it into your DNS TXT record. To do this, open your DNS provider’s website (like www.

ns1.com), and click on the “TXT Records” tab. In the “TXT Record” section, click on the “Add TXT Record” button, and then paste in the DVK string that you copied from www.com into the “Value” field. Click on the “Submit” button, and your DNS provider will add the DVK to your DNS record.

Now, whenever someone tries to reach your website by typing in your domain (instead of, for example, www.example.com), their computer will send a request to your DNS provider, asking for the IP address of your website.

Your DNS provider will then look up the DVK in its database, and return the IP address that corresponds to it. This will protect your website from being hijacked by cyber-criminals, who would then be unable to access your website’s content.
