My Marketing email provider, Klaviyo, has asked me to set up a dedicated sending domain which must be a subdomain of jestpaint.com, I want to create email.jestpaint.com, Exacthosting which is the registrar of my domain told me that since you manage the DNS records for jestpaint.com and I won’t be hosting anything on that dedicated subdomain for mass emailing people through Klaviyo, you need to help me set that up. How do I do it?
These are Klaviyo Instructions:
And here is their newsletter telling us about why we need to do this:
In the link you provided by Klaviyo they managed to explain superbly on exactly what you need to do.
The checklist they gave:
Connect dedicated sending domain and generate DNS records.
Update DNS records with your DNS provider (note that this is not done within Klaviyo).
Verify and apply your domain.
New Klaviyo accounts can then warm their sending infrastructure. For existing Klaviyo accounts with at least a 30 day sending history, they can return to normal sending and do not have to warm their infrastructure again.
Hi, I don’t have yet the subdomain I want, I contacted my domain registrar (my main domain registrar) and they told me that since the subdmoain won’t host any content, I need to create that subdomain directly with my DNS records manager, Cloudflare.
ISSUE: I can not find instructions on how to set up a subdomain directly on Cloudflare.
My main domain is jestpaint.com, I want to set up one that goes like email.jestpaint.com, but not sure how to do it on Cloudflare so then I can pass that info on to Klaviyo. I understand Klaviyo’s instructions well, but first I must HAVE a subdomain, and my Registrar, ExactHosting says I don’t need to buy it, that I have unlimited subdomains with them, but that I need to register that subdomain directly with Cloudflare. How do I do that?
