Authenticating your domain prevents your emails from landing in spam. During on-boarding with our team, you will be asked if you want to do this, and in that instance, our team will take care of it. To set it up on your own, you must submit the DNS records provided by SendGrid to your DNS or hosting provider (for example, GoDaddy, Hover, CloudFlare, etc.). 

Remember: you will need access to your hosting provider.

Step1

If you have access to your Sendgrid account, login and Select Settings > Sender Authentication.

*if you dont have access, contact support via email help@6storage.com and we will send you the DNS records.

Step 2

In the domain authentication section, click Get Started. Then select the domain name. if you're not sure what your DNS (Domain Name Server) is, select I am not sure from the drop down box.

Select yes to brand the links for this domain.

Step 3

Enter your domain name and click next.

Step 4

After clicking next, you'll see DNS records. Copy it all and paste it to your domain hosting provider DNS records.

Step 5

To paste the DNS records on your domain hosting account (like Godaddy or cloudflare), login and select the domain to authenticate and then click on Manage DNS.

Step 6

In the DNS Manager window, click on Add button to add new records.

Step 7

Select the type of record on the add screen.

Step 8 

Fill in the values and click save. Repeat the steps for the other values too.
