Google Search Console allows users to add their (sub)domain as a Domain Property with the use of a CNAME record.

When the user adds their Domain Property, they are prompted to add a TXT record. However, the user can change the record type to CNAME:

Which will allow them to add their website.

Can you please update this document to reflect this?

### Adding your website as a Domain Property to Google Search Console

To add your website as a Domain Property, do the following:

1. Go to [Google Search Console](https://search.google.com/search-console) and sign in with your Google account.
2. Click “Add property” and choose the type “Domain”
3. Enter the website base URL, without the `http://`, `https://` behind it. For example, you would use `example.com`
4. Select the record type `CNAME Record`
5. Go to the InfinityFree Client Area, select your domain’s hosting account, select your domain, then select `DNS Records`.
6. Select `Add Record`, then select `Create CNAME Record`
7. Copy the `CNAME Label/Host` from the console, and paste it into the `Name` field
8. Copy the `CNAME Destination / Target` from the console, and paste it into the `Target` field
9. Select `Create CNAME Record`
10. In the Console, select `Verify`

If done successfully, your domain should now be added as a Domain Property! (Due to DNS Propagation, the records may take up to 72 hours to appear)
