Log into your registrar’s account page and on the registrar’s DNS settings page, add the 3 records (1 CNAME and 2 TXT records) provided by Mixo
Save the changes and wait for the records to propagate (they can take up to an hour to refresh)
Go back to Custom Domain section on Mixo and refresh the records.
Once all records have been changed to "Active", you must Publish your site to ensure the latest code points to your site.
