You can manage your emails easily through the cPanel portal. In this guide, we will walk you through setting your DKIM & SPF to improve your email deliverability in cPanel to instill trust in you as a sender.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article is only applicable to those who have an account with Packetra <\/strong>and it assumes that you are already logged into the cPanel. Don’t have a hosting account yet? Check out our Shared Hosting<\/strong><\/a> or WordPress Hosting<\/strong><\/a>. If you already have one feel free to login<\/a><\/strong> to your portal, click the cPanel hosting service and use one of the quick actions to log onto your cPanel to follow the guide below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find the Email Section<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Under the Email<\/strong> section, click the Email Deliverability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Click<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Manage cPanel Email Deliverability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Next, on the Email Deliverability page, you want to click the icon with the wrench Manage<\/strong> next to the domain you wish to improve the email deliverability for in cpanel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Inside<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Install DKIM & SPF for Email Deliverability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Next, you need to install the appropriate records to your cPanel which will allow you to have DKIM and SPF (Sender Policy Framework), very crucial records so that you can be trusted by other mail servers such as Google. If you come to this page and you see this yellow dialog box above each record like the one below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Warning:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This would indicate that your domain is not being managed by our cPanel hosting server nameservers. This means that clicking the Install The Suggested Record<\/strong> would not be successful, this does not mean you can’t use the records, you simply would have to copy manually the Name & Value<\/strong> of the record type which is TXT, and submit that record to your 3rd party DNS to improve your email deliverability. If however, the box is like below with no such warning, you simply click the Install the Suggested Record<\/strong> to install the record to your domain DNS zone file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Install<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Your cPanel Email Deliverability is Now Improved<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finally, after you click the Install the Suggested Record<\/strong> you will see a green success message which will idnicate that records were installed to your dns zone for email deliverability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Installation<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That is it, now you know how to improve cPanel email deliverability through your Packetra hosting account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong>

What are DKIM and SPF?<\/strong>
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) digitally signs your outgoing emails so receiving servers can verify they came from you. SPF (Sender Policy Framework) tells other mail servers which servers are authorized to send email on behalf of your domain. Together they build trust and reduce the chance of your emails landing in spam.

Do I need both DKIM and SPF?<\/strong>
Yes. We strongly recommend installing both records. Many email providers like Gmail and Outlook check for both when deciding whether to deliver your email to the inbox or the spam folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good to Know<\/strong>
After installing DKIM and SPF, we recommend testing your email score at Mail-Tester.com<\/strong><\/a>. Send an email to the address they provide and aim for a 10\/10 score. Additionally, if you use a third-party DNS provider like Cloudflare, you will need to manually copy the DKIM and SPF record values and add them as TXT records in your DNS provider. The records will not install automatically in that case. If you run into any issues, open a support ticket through the client portal<\/strong><\/a> and our team will assist you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
