Adding the DNS records at your registrar

You add records in your registrar's DNS settings (where you bought the domain). Two kinds of records matter:

• For your website: one CNAME — host www, pointing to domains.sitesfare.com.
• For email on your domain (optional): one MX and three TXT records. Sitesfare shows the exact values on Domain & email with a Copy button for each.

"Host" or "Name"? Registrars call the same box different things. Type only the part before your domain: www, @ (means the domain itself), dkim._domainkey, _dmarc. If a registrar adds your domain automatically, don't type it again — www.yourname.com.yourname.com is a common mistake.

GoDaddy

1. Sign in → My Products → next to your domain, DNS (or Manage DNS).
2. Website: find the existing CNAME with name www → Edit → Value domains.sitesfare.com → Save. (If there isn't one: Add New Record → Type CNAME, Name www, Value domains.sitesfare.com, TTL 1 hour.)
3. Bare domain forwarding: Forwarding section → Add forwarding → https://www.yourname.com, Permanent (301).
4. Email: Add New Record for each: Type MX, Name @, Value mail.sitesfare.com, Priority 10; Type TXT, Name @, the SPF value; Type TXT, Name dkim._domainkey, the DKIM value; Type TXT, Name _dmarc, the DMARC value. Delete GoDaddy's own MX records if you are moving email to Sitesfare.

Namecheap

1. Domain List → Manage next to your domain → Advanced DNS.
2. Website: delete the default CNAME www → parkingpage and URL Redirect @ if present. Add New Record → CNAME Record, Host www, Value domains.sitesfare.com, TTL Automatic → ✓ save.
3. Bare domain forwarding: Add New Record → URL Redirect Record, Host @, Value https://www.yourname.com, Permanent (301).
4. Email: scroll to Mail Settings → choose Custom MX → Host @, Value mail.sitesfare.com, Priority 10. Then add the three TXT Records under Host Records (Hosts @, dkim._domainkey, _dmarc).

Hostinger

1. Domains → your domain → DNS / Nameservers → DNS records.
2. Website: remove any A record for www; add CNAME, Name www, Target domains.sitesfare.com, TTL 14400.
3. Bare domain forwarding: Domains → your domain → Redirects → to https://www.yourname.com, 301.
4. Email: add MX (Name @, Mail server mail.sitesfare.com, Priority 10) and the three TXT records. Remove Hostinger's own MX records if you are moving email to Sitesfare.

BigRock / ResellerClub / Crazy Domains (India)

1. My Account → Manage Domain → DNS Management (activate it if asked).
2. Website: CNAME Records tab → Add CNAME Record → Host www, Value domains.sitesfare.com.
3. Email: MX Records tab → Host blank (or @), Value mail.sitesfare.com, Priority 10. TXT Records tab → add the SPF (Host blank), DKIM (Host dkim._domainkey) and DMARC (Host _dmarc) values.
4. Forwarding: Domain Forwarding → https://www.yourname.com.

Cloudflare (if your domain's DNS is on Cloudflare)

1. Your domain → DNS → Records → Add record.
2. Website: Type CNAME, Name www, Target domains.sitesfare.com, Proxy status: DNS only (grey cloud). The orange cloud breaks the connection.
3. Email: Type MX, Name @, Mail server mail.sitesfare.com, Priority 10; the three TXT records (Names @, dkim._domainkey, _dmarc).
4. Forwarding: Rules → Redirect Rules → from yourname.com/* to https://www.yourname.com/${1}, 301 — or a proxied A record for @ to 192.0.2.1 plus that rule.

Squarespace Domains (formerly Google Domains)

1. Domains → your domain → DNS → DNS Settings → Custom records → Add record.
2. Website: Host www, Type CNAME, Data domains.sitesfare.com. Delete any Squarespace "website" preset that also uses www.
3. Email: Host @ (leave blank), Type MX, Priority 10, Data mail.sitesfare.com; then the three TXT records. Remove any Google Workspace preset if you are moving email to Sitesfare.
4. Forwarding: Website → Domain forwarding → https://www.yourname.com, permanent.

After saving

Go back to Domain & email in your dashboard. The Live check and the email records table tick each record off as the internet starts seeing it — normally within minutes, sometimes up to a few hours. If something stays red, see Troubleshooting.
