DNS record configuration example
If using Cloudflare, set proxy status to DNS only (gray cloud). Orange cloud proxying will prevent SSL certificate generation.

​
Step 3: Wait for Verification

DNS propagation typically takes:
  • 5-60 minutes - Cloudflare, AWS
  • 1-4 hours - Google, Namecheap
  • 12-48 hours - Some registrars
Domain verification process

​
Step 4: SSL Certificate

Once DNS is verified, Directify automatically provisions a free SSL certificate. No action required - HTTPS is enabled automatically.
