Please, uncheck the ‘Web Hosting’ and select the ‘Email sending’ option
Adding an email service with the System will not hamper your existing email services.
You can add your email address here, so the system automatically creates an inbox. This step is optional. You can do it later.
Please don’t add your email address here to avoid any unwanted issues. After verifying the domain, you can connect your email address.
Please, click on the ‘Next’ button.
Choose a faster CDN (optional) #
Now, the system will offer you the option to choose a faster CDN for a better web service experience for your users. Please, click on the ‘No, Thank You’ button unless you want a faster CDN for $5/month.
Collect DNS records #
Please, wait for a while. The system will provide you with the required DNS records you need to add to your domain registrar.
After adding all these DNS records to your domain manager, please wait a while for DNS propagation. It might take 24-48 hours.
