[BoldTrail] Domain Nameservers & DNS for Domain Changes & Email Delivery

Learn how to set your nameservers for your BoldTrail domain

Updated this week

*All domain changes must be approved and completed by BoldTrail Support teams prior to you providing you with nameservers if you opt to manage DNS on your own (not recommended).

Nameservers

Upon receiving your unique nameservers to use your domain with Boldtrail, you will need to update your nameserver settings within your domain registrar.

The nameservers will need to replace the existing values.

Every registrar is slightly different. Please refer to the below articles to learn how to change your nameservers in your registrar:

Additionally, we strongly recommend adding the following SPF records for email delivery best practices.

SPF Values

If your domain has an existing SPF record: Update the value to also contain include:sendgrid.net ip4:198.202.27.0/24.

For example: "v=spf1 include:emailsrvr.com~all", becomes "v=spf1 include:emailsrvr.com include:sendgrid.net ip4:198.202.27.0/24~all"

If no SPF record currently exists: Add a new DNS record as follows:

Record Type: TXT

Name/Host: @

Target/Points to: "v=spf1 include:sendgrid.net ip4:198.202.27.0/24 ~all"

TTL: Auto or Fastest Possible

DMARC Recommendation

DMARC is a factor in deliverability from a domain and will negatively impact things if not present. We recommend configuring the following DMARC record if you do not yet have one added:

Record Type: TXT

Name/Host: _dmarc.clients_domain.com

Target/Points to: "v=DMARC1; p=none;"


DKIM Configuration

The BoldTrail Support team will need to configure a unique DKIM value for each independently managed domain. Please complete the DKIM Request Form to request a unique DKIM value if you are managing your own domain with BoldTrail.
