If you have a web hosting plan with ExtraVM, and want to use your own DNS nameservers instead of the ones we provide, you can use the DNS record examples below which are needed for email to work properly if you wish to use the ExtraVM web hosting email server with your own DNS. For example, if you're using a service such as CloudFlare DNS, or using your domain registrar DNS, the below records would be needed for email to work.
If you are using our DNS nameservers for your domain you do not need to do anything shown here, as DNS records are added automatically.
Replace "domain.com" with your domain. Replace "Server_IP" with the web hosting server IP which you can find after logging into our SPanel control panel for web hosting, or by contacting us.

Record 4 - DMARC TXT record:

Value: [Copy the DKIM record value from within SPanel > DNS Editor, it is a long record that starts with "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=....."]
Once all five DNS records are added, wait a few hours for DNS propagation and your email should work normally using our web hosting email server.
