# OVHcloud

> Learn how to verify your domain on SendKit using OVHcloud DNS.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

1. A [SendKit account](https://app.sendkit.dev/register) with a domain added
2. Access to your [OVHcloud Control Panel](https://www.ovh.com/manager)
3. Your domain's DNS records from the SendKit domain detail page

## Add DNS records

Log in to OVHcloud, go to **Domain names**, select your domain, then click the **DNS zone** tab. Click **Add an entry** for each of the following.

### 1. DKIM record

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add a new entry">
    Click **Add an entry** and select **TXT**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the subdomain">
    In the **Subdomain** field, enter `sendkit._domainkey`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the value">
    In the **Value** field, paste the full DKIM value from your SendKit domain detail page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Leave TTL as the default and click **Next**, then **Confirm**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

| OVHcloud field | SendKit value                |
| -------------- | ---------------------------- |
| Type           | `TXT`                        |
| Subdomain      | `sendkit._domainkey`         |
| Value          | Your DKIM value from SendKit |

### 2. SPF record

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add a new entry">
    Click **Add an entry** and select **TXT**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the subdomain">
    In the **Subdomain** field, enter `send`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the value">
    In the **Value** field, paste the SPF value from your SendKit domain detail page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Next**, then **Confirm**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  OVHcloud also has a dedicated SPF record type in the wizard. Use the **TXT** type instead — it works the same way and is more straightforward.
</Note>

| OVHcloud field | SendKit value               |
| -------------- | --------------------------- |
| Type           | `TXT`                       |
| Subdomain      | `send`                      |
| Value          | Your SPF value from SendKit |

### 3. MX record

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add a new entry">
    Click **Add an entry** and select **MX**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the subdomain">
    In the **Subdomain** field, enter `send`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the target">
    In the **Target** field, paste the MX value from your SendKit domain detail page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set priority">
    Set **Priority** to `10`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Next**, then **Confirm**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

    In the **Subdomain** field, enter `_dmarc`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the value">
    In the **Value** field, enter `v=DMARC1; p=none;`.

    Click **Next**, then **Confirm**.
  </Step>

## Verify your domain

Go back to your [SendKit domain detail page](https://app.sendkit.dev) and click **Refresh**. OVHcloud DNS changes can take up to 30 minutes to propagate.

<Info>
  If verification doesn't succeed immediately, wait a few minutes and try again. SendKit also checks automatically in the background.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="DNS zone vs DNS servers">
    Make sure you're editing the **DNS zone** tab, not the **DNS servers** tab. The DNS zone is where you add individual records.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="OVHcloud adds a trailing dot">
    OVHcloud automatically appends a trailing dot to record names in the zone view. This is normal DNS notation and won't affect verification.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Using OVHcloud email">
    The SendKit MX record goes on the `send` subdomain, not your root domain. It won't conflict with OVHcloud's email service or any existing MX records.
