# How to verify a domain in Google Workspace/G Suite in cPanel?
To use **Google Workspace**, formerly known as **G Suite**, the service will ask you to validate your domain.\
This is a security step to prevent others from using your domain with **Google Workspace**.
### Steps to verify your domain:
Access the **Cpanel** control panel and then navigate to the **Zone Editor** option under the **Domains** section.
Click the **Manage** button for the domain you want to validate.
You will see the **DNS Zone** for your domain. Click the **arrow button** to the right of **Add Record** and select **Add "TXT" record**.
In the **Google Workspace admin console**, look for the verification code for your domain.\
You should see a screen similar to the one in the image. Click **CONTINUE**.
You will see the code to validate your domain. Copy the code with the **COPY** button.
Back on the screen where you created the TXT record in **Cpanel**, you must configure the record as follows:\\
* Fill in the first field with your domain, adding a **dot** at the end.\\
* In the **Record** field, paste the verification code provided by **Google Workspace** in its admin console.\\
* Save the TXT record by clicking the **Save Record** button.
This domain validation record may take up to 72 hours to apply. However, while you finish setting up the next steps in the **Google Workspace admin console**, **Google** will begin searching for your new verification record.
