Get started authenticating your domain
From your domain provider's website, find the page or area that has your domain or domain records - usually called manage domains, DNS custom records or zone files.
We've also listed some of the most common provider's DNS setup instructions here:
Select your domain provider:
Once you've found this area you are ready for the next step.
Copy your records
You are going to add *5 CNAME records, 2 TXT records and 1 MX record to your domain on your domain provider's website.
Look for a place to create or add a new record.
Choose CNAME or TXT or MX for the record type.
Copy the Name info from the first record below and paste it into your record's Name or Host field. This field may also be called Hostname or Host record.
Copy the Value info from the first record below and paste it into your record's Value field. This field may also be called Data or Points to.
If you have an option for TTL, either leave it at the default setting or choose the lowest value offered.
Add or save your record.
Now repeat those steps, but this time copy/paste the info for the second and the next records.
Finally, you need to add a TXT record to your domain for DMARC if you don't have one already. From february 1st 2024, it is required by Gmail and Yahoo if sending more than 5,000 emails per day to their customers. This record helps prevent your emails from being masked as spam. The value shown below is the simplest possible DMARC record, feel free to use a different one as it is valid.
*The 5 CNAME records, 2 TXT records and 1 MX record to input can all be found in the Verify DNS section under the branding tab in the ‘My Brokerage’ section.
