- Hey, this tutorial is going to be about authenticating your domain name for your email autoresponder like MailChimp or Constant Contact.
I'm using MailChimp and I'm going to show you how to do this.
This is a new feature that Google is rolling out in February of this year. You have to have your domain name authenticated or the emails that you send from Constant Contact or MailChimp will come from something at MailChimp.com instead of your official domain name.
I'm going to go up here to the top right and click on this little icon and it's going to drop down. I'm going to click on profile and then I'm going to click on domains. And then you'll see I have two different domain names. The one I want to authenticate is my Web 801.
It's in process already the email authentication process, I pick where my domain name is registered. In this case, mine is a GoDaddy. Then I go to my go, my domain name provider.
And here it gets a little tricky. I'm going to have to log into my GoDaddy account and I'm going to have to edit the DNS and add a couple records. So I'm going to do that now.
I'm going to go back here. So go to the domain name manager and click add button. This is in the DNS.
And I could have clicked on, I'm going to click manage domain. And then DNS. So now I'm here. This is the DNS.
Then I'm going to go back to this and it's going to say add button. And for the type cname.
For the host, I'm going to copy and paste this information. For the points to, I'm going to copy and paste this information. And the TLL,
I'll leave the default setting. And it looks like I'll do this two times.
So cname 1, cname 2. So let me do that now.
I'm going to copy this. Go back here, add new record. The type is a cname.
So it's a little different. The host is the name and the value is the points to. And then that I'll leave the same.
I'm gonna click add more records.
CNAME and then there's the host or in this case the name and the value is the points to.
I'll keep that out and then save all records.
It's gonna update and it'll say success.
Now I'll go back here. I'll click next.
And it's gonna have me add another record.
So I'm gonna copy this one. This is a text record.
So then I'm gonna go add new record. And this time it's a text.
Let's see what it says.
Okay, so same thing. The host is the name.
The .2 is the value.
And the default is the T-T-L is the default, so I'll click save. Success.
And then I'll click next again.
Okay, so now it says wait. It can take MailChimp some time to validate,
and I'm going to click check status. And success. I'm going to click all these.
These are all. I'll just notifications that it worked.
Okay, and so that is now that domain name is now authenticated, and that's how you authenticate your domain name using GoDaddy.

I have another hosting service. When I tried it than GoDaddy said we can not shows DNS because you have another name server. How I can do it?
This is a bit complicated. If you’d like assistance, go to web801.com to schedule a consultation. I would need to know more about your particular situation.
