Status · your web address

Half verified, and the screen says which half

Each line shows its own state separately, so "it isn't working" becomes "line two is missing". The one-tap send composes the message for whoever runs their website. No promise of one-click setup is made anywhere, because that is not what this does.

Meanwhile

A working address is live and answering, so your people are not locked out while this sorts itself out. Last checked 09:41.

HonestWe can't do this bit for you

Only whoever controls your web address can add these. That's the one step we can't take off your hands — everything after it, we watch and finish: this screen marks each line there as it lands, and tells you the moment your address is live.

Still to decideThe name of the working address

The temporary address you get while yours verifies must not carry anybody else's product name — it is the one string your web person gets forwarded. The neutral name for it hasn't been chosen yet, so hosted-app.example above is a stand-in rather than a promise.

A record that has to be retyped from a screenshot is a support ticket in waiting. Hence a real copy control on the block, and a send that writes the message for the person who actually holds the domain.

"There" and "not there yet" are words, not colours. Two lines, two states, and you can tell them apart with the screen turned to greyscale.
