Puntego only boots on hostnames you have added and verified for your workspace. Verifying a domain proves you control it, so your app ID can only run the guide on sites you own.

Verify a domain

1

Open Domains

Go to Dashboard → Settings → Domains.
2

Add the hostname

Enter the exact hostname you plan to ship on, such as app.example.com. Add each host you serve separately.
3

Publish the DNS TXT record

The dashboard shows a DNS TXT record for the domain. Add it at your DNS provider using the host and value below.The host is _gp-verify. followed by your domain, and the value always starts with gp-verify-. Copy the exact value shown in the dashboard — it is unique to your domain.
4

Run verification

Return to Dashboard → Settings → Domains and run verification. Puntego looks up the TXT record over DNS and marks the domain verified once it matches. DNS changes can take time to propagate, so re-run verification if it does not pass on the first try.
Add and verify every production hostname before you launch — including preview or staging hosts where the boot script runs. The runtime checks the origin when it loads, so an unverified host will not mount the guide.

Why this matters

  • Puntego refuses to boot on origins you have not verified, so the guide never appears on a site you do not control.
  • Verified domains keep your app ID from being reused on another site under someone else’s control.
  • One clear allowlist gives you a single place to see — and trust — exactly where the guide can run.

Local development

Local development origins are allowed outside production, so your test harness and local builds boot without a verified domain. Production traffic must come from a hostname you have added and verified here.

Next steps

Install Puntego

Add the boot script, then copy the canonical snippet for a verified domain.
