# Required DNS Records

## CNAME Record (AI Subdomain Routing)

Value:edge.kismet.travel
TTL: 3600 seconds

This creates ai.yourdomain.com and routes it to Kismet's AI infrastructure.

TTL: 3600 seconds

This proves you own the domain. The token expires in 7 days for security.

# Frequently Asked Questions

How long does DNS propagation take?

DNS changes typically propagate within 5–60 minutes, but can take up to 24–48 hours globally. Most users see changes within 15 minutes.

What happens if I make a mistake in the DNS records?

Simply edit or delete the incorrect record and add the correct one. DNS changes are reversible and won't harm your existing website.

Will this affect my existing website?

No, these records only create a new AI subdomain (ai.yourdomain.com). Your main website remains completely unaffected.

Can I remove these records later?

Yes, you can delete these DNS records anytime to disconnect the AI subdomain. Your verification token will also expire automatically after 7 days if unused.
