Steps to Verify the sending Domain in GoDaddy
Last updated
Setting up a sending domain involves adding TXT and CNAME records to your DNS. These records authenticate your emails, ensuring better deliverability and reducing the chances of emails being flagged as spam. Follow this guide to configure your sending domain in GoDaddy.
TXT Records: These are used to store text-based information, such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configurations, which verify that your emails are sent from authorized servers.
CNAME Records: These are used to alias a domain or subdomain to another domain, often for domain verification or tracking purposes.
Sign in to your GoDaddy Domain Portfolio.
Select the domain you want to configure as your sending domain.
Go to the Domain Settings page and select DNS to access your DNS records.
Click Add New Record and select TXT from the Type dropdown.
Fill in the following details:
Use @ for the root domain (e.g., example.com).
Use a subdomain (e.g., send) for sending-specific records (e.g., send.example.com).
Enter the text provided by your email service, such as SPF, DKIM, or DMARC values.
TTL (Time to Live)
Leave this at the default value of 1 hour unless otherwise specified.

Click Add New Record and select CNAME from the Type dropdown.
