How to connect domain to Titan Business Email?

When setting up Titan Business Email, your domain cannot be connected to both Titan Business Email and an active web hosting email service at the same time. You must choose one.

 

 

1. Z.com domain + Titan Business Email (For Titan Business Email service only)

Note: This guide will walk you through connecting your domain to Titan Business Email, which means no active web hosting email service will be used.

Customers should obtain and add the MX, TXT/SPF, and DKIM record settings from the Z.com Client Area.

1. Upon logging into your Z.com account and reaching the Client Area, aligned with your Business Email service, click View Details.

2. Scroll to the Domain section tab and click Connect domain to get the MX and TXT/SPF records.

3. To connect your domain to Titan email, click Connect to expand details and get the MX and TXT/SPF record settings.

• On steps #3 and #4, get both MX and SPF records (which will route all your emails to Titan). Click copy in line with the corresponding record and save details elsewhere to be used later to add the records via DNS Management.

• Follow the same process for the TXT/SPF record (which will prevent your emails from being considered spam). At step #3, click copy and save the details to be used later to add the records via DNS Management.

4. Once you have the MX and TXT/SPF details, scroll back up and click Manage Domain. You will be redirected to a new tab for your domain’s DNS Management section.

5. Add the MX records under the DNS Management area and click Save Changes. Then, add the TXT/SPF record and click Save Changes.

6. Once done, return to step #3 of this guide (above). Scroll to the bottom of each MX and TXT/SPF record section, check the boxes, and click Verify changes.

Note: These changes may take up to 24 hours to take effect. You may need to wait for the propagation to complete the DNS settings before you can start using the Titan email service.

7. Done! A successfully connected domain should look like the following.

*Recommended step (improve your email reputation and security by adding custom DKIM records for outgoing emails):

1. Refer to step 2 above. Under the Domain section tab, click Email Reputation.

2. Click Add to get the DKIM record.

3. At #3, click copy and save the details to be used later to add the records via DNS Management.

4. Add the DKIM record under the DNS Management area and click Save Changes.

Note: Before adding Titan’s MX records, you must delete any existing MX records, including the default MX records for the hosting email service. Keeping old MX records may cause email delivery issues. Refer to step 4 below.

1. Refer to step 3 of part 1 of this guide (above) to obtain the MX and TXT/SPF record settings.

2. Access cPanel directly through your Z.com account. Once you have reached the cPanel dashboard, locate Zone Editor under Domains.
