Whogohost

Use this guide if your domain's nameservers end in whogohost.com. With a hosting plan the records go in cPanel's Zone Editor. With a domain only, they go in Manage DNS in the Whogohost client area.

The records to add

These names are for a domain added as acme.com. Notix shows each name in the short form, without your main domain on the end, so copy it from your domain page as it is. If you added a subdomain such as news.acme.com, the names read mail.news and notix._domainkey.news; _dmarc stays the same. The DKIM name and key are different for every domain. The MX value names the region your domain sends from, for example feedback-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonses.com, so copy it from your domain page too.

Add them at Whogohost

1. 1

   Open the DNS screen

   With hosting: open cPanel from your client area, go to the Domains section, click Zone Editor, then Manage next to your domain.

   Domain only: log in to your client area and click Domains, then Manage DNS. If your domain has no zone yet, click Add zone; if it has one, click Edit.

2. 2

   Add each TXT record

   In the Zone Editor, click Add Record.

   1. In Name, enter the name from the table, for example _dmarc.
   2. Leave TTL as it is.
   3. Set Type to TXT.
   4. In Record, paste the value.
   5. Click ADD RECORD.

   Repeat for the DKIM, SPF and DMARC records. In the client area's Manage DNS, fill in the same things.

3. 3

   Add the MX record

   Click Add Record and set the type to MX. Enter mail as the name, 10 as the priority and the MX value, for example feedback-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonses.com, as the destination. Save it.

Things to know at Whogohost

• Whogohost's examples use @, or a blank name, for the main domain. None of the Notix records go there.
• cPanel's Zone Editor may show the name in full with a dot at the end, such as mail.acme.com.. If it asks for the full name, enter mail.acme.com. for a domain acme.com, and the same for the other names. After saving, check no name ends in your domain twice.
• Whogohost's own MX guides are about moving your inbox, and tell you to change the MX records on @. Do not touch those for Notix: the Notix MX record is on mail.

SPF and DMARC: check before you add

• SPF. A name can have only one SPF record. Notix puts its SPF on mail, not on your main domain, so it never clashes with the SPF your main domain may already have for your mailbox provider. Leave that one as it is. If mail itself already has a TXT record that starts with v=spf1, do not add a second one: edit it to include include:_spf.usenotix.dev.
• DMARC. A domain can have only one DMARC record. If _dmarc already has a record that starts with v=DMARC1, keep it and skip the Notix one. Notix accepts the record you have. Two DMARC records cancel each other out, and mailbox providers then ignore both.
• MX on `mail`. The MX record only takes bounce and complaint reports back to Notix. It does not touch the MX records on your main domain, so your normal inbox keeps working.

After you save

Whogohost's pages give no time. Most hosts say up to 24 to 48 hours. Most records show in Notix within about 10 minutes.

You do not need to watch the page. Notix checks your records again on its own, and the domain turns Verified when the required records are found. To check straight away, open the domain in Domains and press Verify again. If a record is found at the wrong name, for example mail.acme.com.acme.com, the domain page says what to fix.

The records you add stay at your DNS host. Do not delete them later: Notix keeps checking them while you send.
