Setup instructions for different DNS providers

Setting up your DNS records is a key step in verifying your email domain with KOMI. The process can vary slightly depending on your domain provider, so we’ve compiled guides for some of the most common DNS providers to help you navigate the setup smoothly.

Some hosting providers require truncated versions of the host values (e.g., hello instead of hello.customdomain.com). Below is the list of providers with instructions tailored to their specific requirements. If you run into any trouble, try both full and truncated host values, or reach out to your hosting provider’s support team for assistance.
