Change the DNS validation for domain search a bit
Right now, I've added a verification TXT record to my zone apex (root). This clutters a bit, as every other site also has their records there. I want to know if I can remove the record, but I couldn't find this in any docs.
If possible, move the record to a subdomain to avoid cluttering the zone apex. This could be a random subdomain to avoid any cases where a malicious user might control the delegation of a subdomain. Maybe the subdomain is the validation (like d234fghde34.mydomain.com with a TXT record saying "yes")
Alternatively, allow me to remove the record once validated.
In any case, adding to the FAQ describing how long the record is meant to be would be helpful :)
Thanks for an awesome service.

Hi Michael,
Regarding MX record you can use https://www.somorr.com/ to check the validity. but regarding the TXT I don't know how can I help.
