In today's world, your domain name (e.g., www.yourorganization.com) is a key part of your brand. Your domain is about more than just your main website - it's your email, sometimes your office login, and often other websites that are important to your members. In the early stages of onboarding, we want to make sure you have everything lined up to have your domain name point to your new Novi AMS powered website. As a first step, we ask that you set up just a couple of DNS records for us to verify that you own the domain you want to use for your Novi website.

Please add the following TXT records to your DNS, or forward this to your technology person so they can do it for you.

These records enable us to create cloud resources for your domain name. Even more importantly, they help protect you from a "Dangling DNS Subdomain Takeover" attack. You don't have to know what that means; know it's us always taking the path of additional security.

It's important someone understands that ecosystem and makes the changes in a knowledgeable way to ensure as smooth a transition as possible. The Novi team has recommendations for technology service contacts who can help you manage this transition - refer to our Consultants page for details!
