## Add unique DNS records from Kajabi to SiteGround
To add your DNS records from Kajabi to SiteGround:
### Create your unique DNS records in Kajabi
In order to generate your unique DNS records in Kajabi, you must first add your custom email domain in your Kajabi Marketing Settings.
**To create your DNS records:**
* Open the **Settings** tab on the lower left of your Kajabi dashboard.
* Select **Marketing Settings**.
* Scroll down to the Email Settings section.
* Locate your **Custom Email Domain** settings.
* Input the **From name**, **From email**, and **Reply-to email** for your custom email domain.
* Then, click **Setup Custom Email Domain**.
* Your unique DNS records will appear on the Custom Email Domain Setup page:
### Add TXT Records
Please note that Kajabi may use different terms for some of the values in a DNS record than those used by any given DNS provider, like SiteGround. For instance, the terms "Name", "Host", and "Host Name" usually refer to the same DNS record component.
**To add your TXT records:**
* In your SiteGround DNS Zone Editor, navigate to **Create New Record** and select the **TXT** tab.
* Copy the **Host** value for the first TXT record created by Kajabi and paste it into the **Name** field in SiteGround.
* Then, copy the **Value** content in Kajabi and paste it into the **Value** field in SiteGround.
* Keep the default value in the TTL field.
* Click **Create.**
* Then, click **Back** and repeat these steps to add the second and third TXT records:
### Add MX Records
* In SiteGround, navigate to **Create New Record** and select the **MX** tab.
* Select **Add your own MX records**.
* Copy the **Host** value for the first MX record created by Kajabi and paste it into the **Name** field in SiteGround.
* Enter **10** for the **Priority**.
* Keep the default value in the TTL field.
* Then, copy the **Value** content in Kajabi and paste it into the **Destination** field in SiteGround.
* Click **Create.**
* Then, click **Back** and repeat these steps to add the second MX record, but enter **20** for the **Priority**:
### Add CNAME Record
* In SiteGround, navigate to **Create New Record** and select the CNAME tab.
* Copy the **Host** value for the CNAME record created by Kajabi and paste it into the **Name** field in SiteGround.
* Then, copy the **Value** content in Kajabi and paste it into the **Resolves to** field in SiteGround.
* Keep the default value in the TTL field.
* Click **Create**:
### Wait for propagation
The verification process can take up to 48 hours due to the timeframe for the Domain Name System (DNS) changes to propagate.
#### What does this mean?
To create a successful connection:
* A custom subdomain has been added to ensure that your records don't interfere with existing domains.
* Your DNS changes must propagate, meaning that Internet Service Provider (ISP) nodes across the world must update their caches with your new DNS information.
### Can I send emails during this time?
Yes! As your custom email domain propagates, your marketing emails will continue to send via Kajabi's shared marketing email domain.
### Can I make changes to my 'from' information during this time?
After updating your DNS records, you can continue to make changes to your "from name", "from email", and "reply-to email". These changes will not impact your custom email domain setup.
Regardless of your connection status (i.e. connection pending, error, or successful connection), you can continue to make changes to your 'from' information.
### How will I know when it's done?
After the verification process has completed, you'll receive an email notification from our support team:
* Your custom email sending domain is confirmed
* There is a problem with your custom email sending domain
If you've received an email notification that your custom email domain is confirmed, your marketing emails will now be sent to your list using your branded email domain.
