Before you can use your custom business email with Investment Dominator, you need to select an email provider, complete the initial setup, and configure your domain DNS settings to enable email functionality.
STEP 1: Choose an Email Provider
- Decide which email provider you want to use for your business email.
- Recommended provider: GoDaddy, but you may also use Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook, or any other third-party provider you prefer.
- Sign up directly with your chosen provider for an email plan or license.
- If using GoDaddy, select a business email package and follow their setup process.
- If using Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook, or another provider, sign up for their service before continuing.
STEP 2: Start the Email Setup
- Proceed with the email setup process provided by your email provider after signup.
- Your provider will supply DNS record instructions to add to your domain.
- These DNS records, such as MX, TXT, or other types, direct your domain to the email hosting service and allow proper sending and receiving of emails.
- Always use the exact DNS records given by your email provider, as they vary by provider.
STEP 3: Submit a Support Ticket
- After receiving the DNS setup instructions from your email provider, submit a support ticket to the Investment Dominator team.
- Include all DNS records (MX, TXT, or others) exactly as provided.
- Inform the team you are setting up a business email and need these DNS records added to your domain. Example message: “I’m setting up my business email and need the following DNS records added to my domain.”
- The Investment Dominator team will review and add the necessary DNS records for your domain.
