Zoho Mail is in high demand because it is free for up to 25 mailboxes and offers 5 GB of free storage.

Requirements

Domain verification

In Zoho, domain verification can be done in three ways: CNAME, TXT Method, and HTML Method. CNAME is the simplest and in this article we focus on this one in particular. The HTML method cannot be used in Jumpseller.

Domain verification with CNAME

This means adding a unique ‘CNAME’ record specified by us in the domain’s DNS Administration.

You need to have a domain, now you can use Zoho to buy a domain or you can even create one with Jumpseller. Use your Jumpseller domain to register with Zoho.

At Zoho, click on control panel and then click on Domain, it should start the verification wizard.
Then, you must select the DNS provider of your domain, which in this case will be others, as you can see at the end.

Choose the CNAME tab to generate the unique zb code for your domain. Copy the unique ** code from zb generated for your account.

zoho step 2

Now go to the Jumpseller administration page, in the section Settings and then Domains. Click on your custom domain to enter its configuration.
In the DNS Settings section select the “Nameservers” method from the drop-down list.

Then in the lower section called Advanced DNS Configuration you will select CNAME from the “Record” drop-down list.
In the column Host paste the unique code generated by Zoho. And in the column Record exactly this: zmverify.zoho.com.

The verification CNAME configuration should look like this:

Then you click on Add. You have successfully verified your domain, now you can proceed to the next steps guided by Zoho.

Configure MX Records

Once you’re done with domain verification, the next step to consider is setting up email delivery. MX record entries are special DNS server records that designate recipient email servers for your domain. As seen in the image below, you can change MX records after creating all user accounts and email addresses in Zoho.

Go to the Jumpseller administration page, in the section Settings ** and then **Domains. Click on your custom domain to enter its configuration.
In the lower section called Advanced DNS Configuration you will select MX from the “Record” drop-down list.
Leave the Host column blank. And in the column Data exactly this:
```
10 mx.zoho.com.
20 mx2.zoho.com.
```
Then you click Add.

The MX configuration should look like this:

Configure SPF Records

Go to the Jumpseller administration page, in the section Settings and then Domains. Click on your custom domain to enter its configuration.
In the lower section called Advanced DNS Configuration you will select TXT from the “Record” drop-down list.
Leave the Host column blank. And in the column Data exactly this:
```
 v=spf1 include:zoho.com ~all
```
Then you click Add.

The configuration should look like this:

Configure DKIM

Follow these steps to generate a unique domain key in Zoho Mail:

Login to Control Panel from https://www.zoho.com/mail/cpanel-login.html with administrator credentials.
Select Email Authentication and choose DKIM to navigate to the DKIM configuration page.
Click the Edit icon for the domain for which you want to configure DKIM.
