**Domain Validation Request — IRL Health Bar**

Hi Marketplace specialists, requesting manual domain validation for two domains on our app “IRL Health Bar” (Client ID: `2ErvMSIpQpSrfn1cLLu8JA`).

**1. `stamina-api.onrender.com`**

This subdomain is fully under our control — it’s where our app’s Home URL and API are hosted. We don’t own or control the root `onrender.com` domain itself, which belongs to Render Services, Inc. and serves unrelated content for all of Render’s customers. As a result, we’re unable to add a DNS TXT record, upload a file to the domain root, or edit the homepage `<meta>` tags for `onrender.com`.

We can, however, serve any file or add any `<meta>` tag at any path under our own subdomain immediately. If verification can target `stamina-api.onrender.com` directly rather than the shared root domain, we’re happy to add a verification token to any path you specify (e.g. `https://stamina-api.onrender.com/[verification-path]`).

**2. `staminabar.app`**

We do own this domain, registered through Squarespace (formerly Google Domains). It currently hosts only our privacy policy page and requesting manual verification here as well.

Happy to provide any additional information needed. Thanks for your help!
