How to get a custom domain

Email deliverability and brand reputation can be greatly increased by using a custom domain for your campaigns. With Seamailer, you can create a unique domain for your email marketing, guaranteeing that your campaigns convey the professionalism and coherence of your brand. We'll walk you through the steps of purchasing and configuring a custom domain on Seamailer in this article.

• Branding: Custom domain emails (such as [email protected]) boost trust and awareness.
• Improved Deliverability: Using your domain ensures stronger email authentication (SPF, DKIM, and DMARC), minimising the odds of your emails arriving in spam folders.
• Compliance: By adhering to industry standards and best practices, custom domains increase the authenticity of your campaign.

If you don’t already own a domain, you’ll need to purchase one from a domain registrar like:

• GoDaddy
• Namecheap
• Google Domains
• Bluehost

When choosing a domain:

Select one that is consistent with your brand, such as yourbrandnewsletter.com or yourbrand.com.
Steer clear of complicated or spammy domain names.
Make sure you have access to the DNS settings for any domains you currently own.

Enter your Seamailer login credentials: Go to the "Settings" or "Custom Domains" section of your dashboard.
Include a New Domain: Seek out the "Add Custom Domain" or "Set Up Sending Domain" options.
Type in your domain name: Enter the domain that you want to utilise for your email marketing campaigns. For instance, news.yourbrand.com or email.yourbrand.com.

Seamailer will give you specific DNS records that you must add to your domain registrar's settings in order to validate and authenticate your custom domain. Usually, these consist of:

SPF (Sender Policy Framework): Update your DNS settings with a TXT record that Seamailer has supplied. SPF makes guarantee that emails sent on your behalf can only be sent by authorised senders.

Seamailer will provide you with a special key to authenticate your emails using DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail). To activate DKIM, which checks the integrity of your emails, add this as a TXT record.

CNAME Records: For tracking and domain verification, Seamailer could request that you add CNAME records.

Before launching any campaigns:

• Send Test Emails: Send a test email to verify that it appears as intended and reaches the inbox.
• Check Authentication: Use tools like MXToolBox to ensure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are properly set up.

With your custom domain verified and authenticated:

• Start your email campaigns from Seamailer using the custom domain.
• Monitor email deliverability and open rates to ensure optimal performance.

The simple procedure of setting up a custom domain on Seamailer gives your email campaigns credibility and professionalism. You will benefit from increased deliverability rates and a more robust brand presence in the inboxes of your receivers with appropriate domain authentication. You may create a streamlined and dependable email marketing strategy that meets your company's demands by using this guidance.
