Verify your domain

Go back to your SendKit domain detail page and click Refresh. SiteGround 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

The DNS Zone Editor is only available in Site Tools, not the older cPanel. Go to tools.siteground.com, select your site, then navigate to Domain > DNS Zone Editor.
If your domain’s nameservers don’t point to SiteGround, DNS records added here won’t take effect. Check your nameserver settings and add records at your active DNS provider.
