Title: Verifying Google Apps?!?! Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Verifying Google Apps?!?! * [Blakevic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blakevic/) * (@blakevic) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/verifying-google-apps/) * I host my website blakevic.com through wordpress… I want to establish an email that is at blakevic.com – I have registered with google apps and am now attempting to verify the account, and I cannot figure it out. * Everything thing I read tells me I need to find the ‘Upgrades’ tab to ‘Domains’ and then alter my DNS settings. * I cannot find the upgrades tab anywhere in my entire dashboard. The icon used to describe the upgrades tab is used for contacts in my dashboard. * I feel like I can figure it out from the DNS settings, except I have no idea where to locate them. * I really want to set this email up and I have spent almost 3 hours this afternoon trying to figure out this verification process…. * Please Help!

Please try contacting Bluehost( your site’s hosts). * [niey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/niey/) * (@niey) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/verifying-google-apps/#post-2113158) * Sorry to open this up again * I am trying to verify my google apps account also. * There are 2 other ways to do it outside of the DNS changes. * This is to 1. Copy the meta tag below, and paste it into your site’s home page. It should go in the section, before the first section. * * **OR** * 2. Upload an HTML file to your server * This one is a one line file that needs a specific URL to ensure its up. * I was trying to do this over the weekend but still no joy. I finally got the HTML page up with the correct URL but the problem is that it is on a full page with the theme etc. there. This means that google doesn’t recognise it. * Can anyone help me with either uploading a .html file as media where the url can be user defined? Or putting up the meta tag as shown in the 1st point. * Thanks * N * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/verifying-google-apps/#post-2113159) * > I finally got the HTML page up with the correct URL but the problem is that > it is on a full page with the theme etc. * No just create a blank text file, save it using the .html name that Google gives you and then upload it to your wordpress folder using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or use whatever file management application your host provides. * [niey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/niey/) * (@niey) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/verifying-google-apps/#post-2113160) * Can this be done through the wordpress dashboard? * Like is it possible when selecting to add a new page that I can add a html file that will go to the root directory? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/verifying-google-apps/#post-2113161) * No. You need to use FTP or use whatever file management application your host provides. * [niey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/niey/) * (@niey) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/verifying-google-apps/#post-2113162) * Ok, * Thanks for your help. * Much appreciated!
