Regarding app verification as per this documentation: [Legacy public apps - HubSpot docs](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/creating-an-app#add-a-verified-domain)

Is it possible to add a virtual domain for app verification, or do we need to add a physical domain?

Hello @Iffbld01,

What do you mean by “virtual domain”? Does it refer to a record that points to a CNAME record rather than an A record?

Thank you,

Hi @Franci,

By Virtual domain, I mean for example our main domain is **[abc.com](http://abc.com)** and its subdomain is **[xyz.abc.com](http://xyz.abc.com)**  
can we provide **[xyz.abc.com](http://xyz.abc.com)** as a domain name to verify the app?
