Adding values to a domain registrarUpdated 11 days ago

Here you'll find instructions for some of the most popular domain registrars. While all registrars are very similar, some of the steps might slightly differ but, no matter the differences, the values should be added in the same way.

If you're having issues with your domain verification, please go through the troubleshooting steps for Sendgrid or the troubleshooting steps for Mailgun. Alternatively, check out the domain verification FAQs.

If you're unsure of the steps in your domain registrar, we advise contacting your provider's Support Team for the most precise assistance.
