There are two types of methods for domain verification:
a) Recommended- Upload the HTML file by using FTP software
b) Alternate- Further comprises of three methods:
i. HTML tag
ii. Google Analytics
iii. Domain Name Provider
Unless you have an excellent command over FTP, it would be recommended that you go for the simplest method that is inserting an HTML tag. You can find this option in the ‘Alternate methods’ tab.

Now, that’s pretty much it. Congratulations, you have successfully created a professional Google Mail account and verified your domain. But, why would you WANT a professional Google Mail account in the first place? Here’s why:
So much space, you can build a house in there! Google offers you more than 10 GB of storage space so you won’t ever have to delete any important mail or document.
Google Mail has a very infamous reputation with spam, since it kills those poor things even before they enter your inbox!
Amazing levels of security. Getting your Google Mail account hacked will b a feat even if you yourself want to try it. It uses HTTPS encryption to guarantee you maximum security.
And probably the best part is: Google Mail gives you all this for Free!
