This tutorial walks you through configuring a dedicated email sending domain to improve deliverability and branding. You'll add five specific DNS records to your domain provider and verify the setup. Ideal for businesses looking to send emails from a custom subdomain like "mail.yourdomain.com".
1. Navigate to the left side bar under "Settings" and then select "Email Services".
2. Please read the benefits of setting up your own dedicated email sending domain.
3. Now, click on "Create Dedicated Domain".
4. After that, enter your new subdomain that you would like to use. We recommend using "mail.yourdomainname.com" or "mg.yourdomainname.com".
5. Click on "Add & Verify".
6. In another tab, open up your domain provider and head to your DNS Records. We do not help integrate from Wix. We recommend using Godaddy as it has the easiest integration.
7. Click on "Add New Record". Depending on your domain provider, it may look a little different.
8. Here are the 5 records we will have to add to our DNS settings. Copy and paste each record one by one into the respective areas.
9. Enter the provided information one by one for each record! Name = Host.
10. Enter in your second "TXT" record here.
11. Next, enter the "CNAME" record.
12. Next, enter your first "MX" record. Please set the priority as 10 for both records.
13. Finally, add your last record, and hit "Save All Records".
14. After, click on "Verify Domain". It will likely take a few minutes to update on the backend, so you might have to verify it a few times.
15. You now have an active dedicated email sending domain!
