Publishing a DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) record with Network Solutions is a relatively simple process. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Access Your Network Solutions Account:
- Log in to your Network Solutions account through their web interface.
2. Select Domain Name on the left side of the page.
3. Select the domain name you want to create the DMARC TXT record for. Further If you only have one domain, you will be taken directly to the Domain Details page.
4. On the domain page, navigate to the Advanced Tools section.
5. In the Advanced tools section click on “Manage” next to Advanced DNS Records.
6. Once you click on “Manage” the new page as shown below will open.
7. To Add the DMARC TXT Records: Click +Add Record and a new window will open. (To Edit previously added DMARC Record: Scroll down to the TXT Record you want to manage and click the pencil icon. A new window will open.)
8. Select Refers to from the drop-down menu, specify the host within your domain. Your domain name is automatically added to this field. For instance, if you’re creating a record for the system www.example.com, you only need to enter “www” in the refers to field.
9. Enter the TXT Value into the field. You will need the entire TXT Value you were given by your DMARC vendor team.
10. Enter the TTL. The TTL default for Network Solutions is 7200 (2 hours). TTL is measured in seconds; for example, 60 seconds is equivalent to one minute. Systems with static IP addresses typically have a TTL of 1800 or higher, while systems with dynamic IP addresses typically use a TTL of 1800 or less. A lower TTL requires clients to query name servers more frequently for your host’s IP address, leading to higher query traffic for your domain. Conversely, a very high TTL can result in downtime when you need to quickly switch your IPs.
11. Save the DMARC Record: Once you’ve entered the DMARC information, save the record to publish it in your DNS settings.
12. Verify the DMARC Record: It may take some time for the DMARC record to propagate. You can verify its proper publication using a DMARC record checker tool or Network Solutions own DNS lookup feature
13. Monitor and Adjust: Regularly review your DMARC reports and, if necessary, adjust your DMARC policy to improve email authentication and security.
Please note that the specific steps and terminology may vary slightly within the Network Solutions interface. If you encounter any difficulties or if their interface has been updated, it’s advisable to consult Network Solution’s documentation or support resources for further guidance
