How to set custom domains in DNS providers

These docs shows how to add the CNAME and TXT records required to configure a custom authentication domain (e.g., for magic‑link emails, smart links, etc.) with Rownd. Each example uses:

• CNAME: points <YOUR_CUSTOM_DOMAIN> to your Rownd subdomain (<ROWND_SUBDOMAIN>).
• TXT: creates a verification record at <TXT_RECORD_HOSTNAME> with the token <VERIFICATION_TOKEN>.
