# Namecheap

> Verify your domain on Namecheap with Resend.

## Add Domain to Resend

First, log in to your [Resend Account](https://resend.com/login) and [add a domain](https://resend.com/domains).

<img alt="Domain Details" src="https://mintcdn.com/resend/JHWt09hsc7E33HK2/images/dashboard-domains-resend-add-domain.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JHWt09hsc7E33HK2&q=85&s=418dd93c2f2ead0b0d83d1b7c2fb0970" data-og-width="3360" width="3360" data-og-height="2100" height="2100" data-path="images/dashboard-domains-resend-add-domain.png" data-optimize="true" data-opv="3" srcset="https://mintcdn.com/resend/JHWt09hsc7E33HK2/images/dashboard-domains-resend-add-domain.png?w=280&fit=max&auto=format&n=JHWt09hsc7E33HK2&q=85&s=28a4feab47f2b86c34c7b1314f636f0c 280w, https://mintcdn.com/resend/JHWt09hsc7E33HK2/images/dashboard-domains-resend-add-domain.png?w=560&fit=max&auto=format&n=JHWt09hsc7E33HK2&q=85&s=bf121272193472fdd2c882fe4b29ced5 560w, https://mintcdn.com/resend/JHWt09hsc7E33HK2/images/dashboard-domains-resend-add-domain.png?w=840&fit=max&auto=format&n=JHWt09hsc7E33HK2&q=85&s=950e2318cb41511a6f7105afa50be42c 840w, https://mintcdn.com/resend/JHWt09hsc7E33HK2/images/dashboard-domains-resend-add-domain.png?w=1100&fit=max&auto=format&n=JHWt09hsc7E33HK2&q=85&s=e5a7d9a4d237a3435e8fffb85c3650f1 1100w, https://mintcdn.com/resend/JHWt09hsc7E33HK2/images/dashboard-domains-resend-add-domain.png?w=1650&fit=max&auto=format&n=JHWt09hsc7E33HK2&q=85&s=a4944168fa1595f1843c8789944f1ef3 1650w, https://mintcdn.com/resend/JHWt09hsc7E33HK2/images/dashboard-domains-resend-add-domain.png?w=2500&fit=max&auto=format&n=JHWt09hsc7E33HK2&q=85&s=17d0c63a766375cab10239e4025c8dac 2500w" />

<Tip>
  It is [best practice to use a
  subdomain](/knowledge-base/is-it-better-to-send-emails-from-a-subdomain-or-the-root-domain)
  (updates.example.com) instead of the root domain (example.com). Using a
  subdomain allows for proper reputation segmentation based on topics or purpose
  (e.g. marketing) and is especially important if receiving emails with Resend.
</Tip>

## Log in to Namecheap

1. Log in to your [Namecheap account](https://ap.www.namecheap.com).

## Add MX SPF Record

<Warning>
  If you are changing the MX configuration from `Gmail` to `Custom MX`, you need
  to [setup new MX records for
  Gmail](https://support.google.com/a/answer/174125). If you don't setup new
  records, receiving mail in your gmail inboxes will stop.
</Warning>

Under the `Mail Settings` section, click the dropdown and select `Custom MX`:

1. Type `send` for the `Host` of the record.
2. Copy the MX Value from Resend into the `Value` field.
3. Use the `Automatic` TTL.
4. Select `Save all changes`.

Below is a mapping of the record fields from Resend to Namecheap:

| Namecheap | Resend   | Example Value                           |
| --------- | -------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Type      | Type     | `MX Record`                             |
| Host      | Name     | `send`                                  |
| TTL       | TTL      | `Automatic`                             |
| Value     | Value    | `feedback-smtp.us-east-1.amazonses.com` |
| -         | Priority | `10`                                    |

<Info>
  Omit your domain from the record values in Resend when you paste. Instead of
  `send.example.com`, paste only `send` (or `send.subdomain` if you're using a
  subdomain).
</Info>

<Info>
  Namecheap does not label the `priority` column. It is the empty column after
  `Value`. Do not use the same priority for multiple records. If Priority `10`
  is already in use, try a higher value `20` or `30`.
</Info>

## Add TXT SPF Record

Under the `Host Records` section, click `Add New Record`:

1. Set the `Type` to `TXT Record`.
2. Enter `send` into the `Host` field.
3. Copy the TXT Value from Resend into the `Value` field.
4. Use the `Automatic` TTL.
5. Select `Save all changes`.

Below is a mapping of the record fields from Resend to Namecheap:

| Namecheap | Resend | Example Value                |
| --------- | ------ | ---------------------------- |
| Type      | Type   | `TXT Record`                 |
| Host      | Name   | `resend._domainkey`          |
| TTL       | TTL    | `Automatic`                  |
| Value     | Value  | `p=example_demain_key_value` |

<Info>
  Omit your domain from the record values in Resend when you paste. Instead of
  `resend._domainkey.example.com`, paste only `resend._domainkey` (or
  `resend._domainkey.subdomain` if you're using a subdomain).

## Receiving Emails

If you want to receive emails at your domain, toggle the "Receiving" switch on the domain details page.

<Warning>
  When you enable Inbound on a domain, Resend receives *all emails* sent to that
  specific domain depending on the priority of the MX record. For this reason,
  we strongly recommend verifying a subdomain (`subdomain.example.com`) instead
  of the root domain (`example.com`). Learn more about [avoiding conflicts with
  your existing MX
  records](/knowledge-base/how-do-i-avoid-conflicting-with-my-mx-records).
</Warning>

Under the `Mail Settings` section, click the dropdown and select `Custom MX`:

1. Type `inbound` (or whatever your subdomain is) for the `Host` of the record.
2. Copy the MX Value from Resend into the `Value` field.
3. Use the `Automatic` TTL.
4. Select `Save all changes`.

Below is a mapping of the record fields from Resend to Namecheap:

| Namecheap | Resend   | Example Value                          |
| --------- | -------- | -------------------------------------- |
| Type      | Type     | `MX Record`                            |
| Host      | Name     | `inbound`                              |
| TTL       | TTL      | `Automatic`                            |
| Value     | Content  | `inbound-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com` |
| -         | Priority | `10`                                   |

After verifying your domain, create a webhook to process incoming emails. For help setting up a webhook, how to access email data and attachments, forward emails, and more, see [our guide on receiving emails with Resend](/dashboard/receiving/introduction).

## Complete Verification

Now click [Verify DNS Records](https://resend.com/domains) on your Domain in Resend. It may take up to 72 hours to complete the verification process (often much faster).

## Troubleshooting
