I bought a domain from google domains (smithhome.us) a month or two ago. I have also signed up for ZOHO free email and have trieded to get everything setup correctly so everything works. I am new to all of this, so getting the DNS settings at google domains has been a learning experience. So far I have these entries:
Name Type TTL DATA
@ A 1h 74.201.155.96
@ MV 5m 10 mx.zoho.com
@ TXT 1h “v=spf1 mx include:zoho.com ~all”
www CNAME 1h zhs.zohosites.com
Some of the problems I'm having are:
- google domains won't let me create the "20 mx2.zoho.com" record, saying it's a duplicate
- I get errors using the MXToolbox tool showing missing or invalid DMARC record. I think I need to add an DKIM entry, but don't know how to do this
- I can get to the website using "www.smithhome.us", but not just "http://smithhome.us". I think I need to setup a naked website redirector, but not sure how to do it. [My A record above is my attempt to fix this]
- I get a https certificate name mismatch from the MXToolbox tool that I don't know how to fix.
- I think I also want to fix the reverse DNS does not match SMTP error too (from MXToolBox}.
So, are these problems something I can get worked out between google domains and zoho, or should I just transfer my domain over to zoho so that everything is simple?
Thanks for any advice or help!
