Add Domain to Resend

First, login to your Resend Account and add a domain.

It is a best practice to use a subdomain (updates.example.com) instead of the root domain (example.com). This allows for proper reputation segmentation based on topics or purpose (e.g. transactional and marketing).

​
Login to Hostzinger

Login to your Hostzinger account:

  1. Select the Domains tab
  2. Choose your Domain from the Domain portfolio list.
  3. Select the DNS / Nameservers to get to the page to manage DNS records.

​

  5. Set the TTL to 3600.
