How could I verify the domain to public my GPTs?

Hello everyone,
I have a simple question.
How can I configure the settings for a GPT I created to verify a domain?
Are there any tutorial videos available?
Do I only need to purchase a domain first, or are there any free options available?

I saw that can purchase and register a domain on Namecheap.
It seems like new users can get the first year for just $6.49. Do I need to sign up first?

And do I only need to purchase the domain, or are there any other professional steps required afterward?
Since I don’t have a programming background, I’m not very familiar with these things.

Thank you.

You should be able to publish GPTs to the store without a domain name. They just will reveal your own name to others.

You will need to:

  • Purchase a domain name, an annual fee (that can be much higher the second year after promos)
  • Have a DNS server under your control for the domain name, where you can set TXT fields quickly (often part of a domain registrar’s service)
  • Have a web page with usage policy there that the links with a GPT can follow.
  • Go to ChatGPT “builder profile” in settings to put in your site info and get a special TXT that you put in your DNS to verify your ownership.

A more professional name registrar, that offers the required DNS services, and a one-page free web site: Dynadot.

Thank you very much for your response. Your steps are very clear and easy to understand.

However, steps 2 and 3 are still a bit unclear:

  1. Have a DNS server under your control for the domain name, where you can set TXT fields quickly (often part of a domain registrar’s service).
  2. Have a web page with a usage policy that links to a GPT can follow.

So, if I simply follow the first step and purchase a specific domain from Namecheap, do I also need a personal DNS server to deploy my own website?

May I ask if Namespace can handle steps 2 and 3, or what process do you recommend?

Thank you.

The DNS server, again, may be provided by the registrar. You should check the offerings of something with “cheap” in the name on their website. It has to be on the network to service requests, and resolvable by its own IP addresses and reverse domain name. A web host may also have DNS servers.

Your name registration will be pointed to DNS servers. This will resolve the name to a current IP address, along with other fields, subdomains, records.

There’s a clever AI that can look at web pages and answer questions.
