Set up SPF and DKIM for a provider

Abstract

Learn how to set up SPF and DKIM for Namecheap, Name.com, Cloudflare, Arvixe, Ipage, networksolutions.com, register.com, Justhost, Bluehost, HostMonster, HostGator, and GoDaddy.

It is very important to set up SPF and DKIM correctly as it improves the deliverability of your campaigns. First, you must make sure you know where to find the required SPF and DKIM information inside your account in our platform.

Usually, it takes 30 minutes for newly created records to take effect. Also, we recommend you to check that you have correctly completed the verification procedure.

Warning

Do not create two SPF records because this makes your SPF invalid. If you already have an existing SPF record, edit it instead of creating a new one.
