DMARC Analyzer - Hostgator Setup

This article contains information on publishing a DMARC record in HostGator DNS, including step-by-step instructions for adding or editing the TXT record, field configurations, and expected DNS propagation time. DMARC Analyzer will aid you in generating your own custom DMARC record.

After generating your DMARC record you should follow these simple steps to publish your DMARC record into your Hostgator DNS:

1. Log in to your cPanel at Hostgator.
2. Navigate to Domains | Advanced DNS Zone Editor.

3. Click on the Add Record button. 

 

If you already see a record with the name "_dmarc", edit this record instead of creating a new record. This is important as you can't have multiple DMARC records.

4. Complete the fields as below:

• Name: enter ‘_dmarc’ as Name (the TXT record name should be “_dmarc.yourdomain.com”)
• TTL: enter the desired TTL value into the TTL field.
• Type: select TXT Record as Type.
• TXT Data: enter your custom DMARC Analyzer TXT record in the TXT Data section (your custom DMARC record as generated by our DMARC record generator).
  
  
  
  

5. To publish your DMARC record, click on the Add Record button.
6. You should now wait some time before the first reports will start to arrive in DMARC Analyzer. This is due to DNS caching and the fact that the ISPs mostly send one report each day. This can take up to 72 hours.
