Updated over a week ago

Authenticating your domain involves publishing DNS records (CNAME) that establish your domain reputation to ensure optimal email deliverability.

NOTE: Adding new records as part of the domain authentication process will not impact your existing DNS settings. You are not going to change or modify existing records.

Once you have added your domain with Method, you will be given three DNS records to add to your domain in GoDaddy.

  1. Log into GoDaddy.

  2. If you have more than one domain, select the domain you want to authenticate within your Domain Portfolio.

  3. Select DNS.
