Verify your domain

Go back to your SendKit domain detail page and click Refresh. Name.com uses a low default TTL (300 seconds), so DNS changes typically propagate within a few minutes.
If verification doesn’t succeed immediately, wait a few minutes and try again. SendKit also checks automatically in the background.

Troubleshooting

Name.com automatically appends your domain to the host field. Enter only the subdomain part — e.g., send not send.yourdomain.com.
If your domain uses nameservers other than Name.com’s defaults, manage DNS at your active DNS provider instead.
