How to add your first domain
A 2-minute walkthrough of adding a domain and starting your first scan.
How to add your first domain
Welcome. Let's get your first domain scanning in under two minutes.
Step 1 — sign in
If you haven't yet, go to app.yourdomain.com/signup and create an account. You can use email + password, Google, or Microsoft.
Step 2 — add a domain
On the overview page, click Add domain in the top-right corner. Enter the domain you want to protect — for example example.com. You do not need to add https://, www., or a trailing slash.
Step 3 — confirm ownership
For your own protection, we require domain ownership confirmation. Add the TXT record shown in the UI to your DNS. Most providers propagate within 60 seconds; our system polls for up to 10 minutes.
Step 4 — first scan
Once ownership is confirmed, your first scan starts automatically. The full recon + health check typically completes in 45–90 seconds. You'll see the score appear on the overview page, broken down by category.
Step 5 — review findings
Critical and high-severity findings appear at the top of the overview page. Each finding has:
- Plain-English description — what's wrong, in business terms
- Technical description — what's wrong, in IT terms
- Remediation — one paragraph your developer can implement
What next?
- Add any subdomains that are in scope (e.g.
api.example.com,admin.example.com). - Configure alerts — email is on by default, add WhatsApp and Slack from Settings → Notifications.
- Invite your developer — they'll get a read-only view so they can action findings.
