  Timely verification means the link is time sensitive and if you don`t click it it will be stale and not work.

  Hi there,

  That email is legitimate, so you can go ahead and verify your email if you haven’t yet.

  The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) requires valid contact information for your domain name. You can learn more about that (and this email) here: Register a New Domain – Email Validation and Verification

  Please let me know if I can provide any further help with this. :)
