Once your Dragon Web Host service is activated, you'll receive an email containing instructions for adding the required DNS records to your domain through your DNS provider (the entity that manages your nameservers). Please note that while each DNS provider may have a slightly different process for adding records, the overall steps remain similar. For the purposes of this guide, we will use Cloudflare as the example DNS provider.
Step-by-Step Guide:
Access the Management Panel:
Log in to the management panel of your DNS provider.
Add the Required Records: You will need to create two MX records and two TXT records:
a. Add the First MX Record:
Type: MX
Name: @ (this signifies the root domain)
Value: safari.mxrouting.net
Priority: 10
b. Add the Second MX Record:
Type: MX
Name: @
Value: safari-relay.mxrouting.net
Priority: 20
c. Add the SPF TXT Record:
Type: TXT
Name: @
Value: v=spf1 include:mxlogin.com -all (This establishes your SPF record).
d. Add the DKIM TXT Record:
Type: TXT
Name: @
Value: (This value is unique to your domain and serves as the DKIM record. To find this value, access your DirectAdmin Panel.)
In the DirectAdmin panel, navigate to the Account Manager section and select DNS Management. On this page, you'll see various records, including one labeled x._domainkey. The value associated with x._domainkey is the information you need to input as the value for the final TXT record.
By following these steps, you will successfully configure the necessary DNS records for your Dragon Web Host service.
