If you want to use MailerLite as your email marketing platform, you need to point your domain’s DNS records to MailerLite. This will allow MailerLite to send emails on behalf of your domain and ensure that your emails are delivered to your subscribers’ inboxes.
Step 1: Log in to Your Domain Registrar
The first step is to log in to your domain registrar. This is the company where you registered your domain name. Once you are logged in, navigate to the DNS settings for your domain.
Step 2: Create a CNAME Record
Next, create a CNAME record for your domain. A CNAME record is a type of DNS record that maps one domain name to another. In this case, you will map your domain’s subdomain (e.g., mail.yourdomain.com) to MailerLite’s mail server.
Example:
- Host: mail.yourdomain.com
- Value: mail.mailerlite.net
Step 3: Create an MX Record
After creating the CNAME record, you need to create an MX record for your domain. An MX record is a type of DNS record that specifies which mail servers are responsible for receiving email messages for your domain.
Example:
- Host: @
- Value: mail.mailerlite.net
Step 4: Save Your Changes
Once you have created the CNAME and MX records, save your changes. It may take a few hours for the changes to propagate across the internet, so be patient.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can point your domain’s DNS records to MailerLite and ensure that your emails are delivered to your subscribers’ inboxes. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact MailerLite support.
