New Website Hosting Account. | DNS Configuration

Welcome to EB IT Support LTD! To ensure your domain works seamlessly with our hosting and email services, you’ll need to set up the following DNS records.

Step 1: Access Your Domain's DNS Settings

Log in to your domain registrar's control panel (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap) and navigate to the DNS Management or Name Server Settings section.


Step 2: Add These Records

SPF Record

This record helps verify your email authenticity and prevent spoofing. Add a TXT record with the following details:

  • Name/Host: @
  • Type: TXT
  • Value:
    plaintext
    Copy code
    v=spf1 ip4:54.37.245.67 include:server2.ebithost.co.uk include:eu.zcsend.net include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all

DKIM Record

This record enhances email security. Add a TXT record for DKIM:

  • Name/Host: default._domainkey
  • Type: TXT
  • Value:
    plaintext
    Copy code
    v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=PUBLIC_KEY
    (Replace PUBLIC_KEY with the DKIM public key provided in your control panel.)

CNAME for Webmail Access

Set up a CNAME record to allow easy access to webmail:

  • Name/Host: webmail
  • Type: CNAME
  • Value: server2.ebithost.co.uk

Step 3: Verify Your Records

Once added, DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours. You can verify your records using tools like MXToolbox DNS Checker.
