You can verify your domain through your domain host (usually where you bought your domain name). Where your domain manager provides Free DNS records to point your domain to an IP address or for TXT/CNAME records.
One option to use Google WorkSpace, Google will verify domain ownership by providing you with TXT verification data to be added to your domain's DNS records. When Google has successfully verified it, your domain ownership will be confirmed. For TXT records, this verification will not affect your website or email.
