Domains

Creating a domain is necessary if you wish to host your website or send email from your domain within OptiPub.

🚧

Verification

Only domains that are verified can be used to configure resources in OptiPub.

Domains

Administration > Domains

You can find Domains in the menu under the Administration module. Navigate to the domains page, then click the button Create in the top right corner to add a domain.

Provide the FQDN of your domain for the Domain Name. Then click Save to create a domain.

An FQDN (fully qualified domain name) is the full domain address including the subdomain, root domain, and top-level domain (e.g., www.example.com - 'www', 'example, 'com')

Do not include a scheme/protocol ('https://') or path with a FQDN.

Email Sending Domains

📘

Are you going to send email out of this domain?

Follow this other guide to Set up a Domain to Send Email. You will delegate OptiPub to manage the DNS records of your subdomain.

Do not continue following this guide if you are configuring this domain to send email through OptiPub.

OptiPub will manage the DNS records for the subdomains that send email through OptiPub. Follow the guide Set up a Domain to Send Email to delegate a subdomain to OptiPub.

Domain Ownership Verification

Administration > Domains

Open the Table Settings menu in the top right of the domains page and select the Record column to display DNS TXT Verification records. OptiPub uses these TXT records to verify you own the domain.

Provide the Domain Name and TXT record to your IT department to create a DNS TXT record with your DNS Provider.

Manage Records with your DNS Provider

Add the TXT verification record to the DNS records of your root domain.

Name = [subdomain name]
