Free setup wizard
Set up email on your own domain, without the DNS guesswork
Choose your email provider and the company that hosts your domain. Get the exact records to add, steps written for your dashboard, and a live check that tells you what is still wrong.
How it works
Three steps from new domain to working inbox
- Step 1
Pick your provider and host
Tell us where your email lives (like Google Workspace or Zoho) and where your domain is managed (like GoDaddy or Cloudflare).
- Step 2
Copy the exact records
Get MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records for that combination, with copy buttons and the field names your dashboard actually uses.
- Step 3
Run a live check
We look up your domain in public DNS and flag anything missing, duplicated or left over from an old provider, with a one-line fix.
Live check
See exactly what's still wrong
The checker reads your domain's public DNS and explains each record in plain English: correct, needs attention, or missing. Every problem comes with a one-line fix for your DNS host.

Guides for the services small businesses actually use
Every provider and host pairing gets its own guide, because the same record looks different in every dashboard.
Why this is different
A setup wizard, not just another checker
Made for your exact combination
Generic checkers tell you something is wrong. We tell you what to type, in which box, on the dashboard you are looking at.
Values from official docs
Every record comes from the provider’s own documentation, with a link to the source and the date we last checked it.
Catches the usual mistakes
Duplicate SPF records, old MX entries from a previous host, proxied DKIM records. The things that quietly break email.
Common questions
Which DNS records does business email need?
Usually four. MX records send incoming mail to your provider. An SPF record (a TXT record) lists the servers allowed to send mail for your domain. DKIM publishes a key that lets receivers verify your messages were not altered. DMARC, a TXT record at _dmarc, tells receivers what to do when a message fails those checks. Most providers also ask for a one-time verification record to prove you own the domain.
How long do DNS changes take to work?
Many changes show up within minutes, but cached answers can keep the old value around for up to 48 hours. If a check still fails right after you save a record, give it some time and check again.
Can my domain have two SPF records?
No. A domain must publish exactly one SPF record. Two separate records make SPF fail for every message. If you send from more than one service, combine them into a single record with multiple include entries.
Will changing MX records break my website?
No. MX records only control where email is delivered. Your website uses different records (A, AAAA or CNAME), so you can update email records without touching the site.
