This is a sample GoDaddy DNS setup guide
Each guide we create uses your product’s custom DNS records, in both the copy and the screenshots.

1. Log in to GoDaddy
Log in to your GoDaddy account and navigate to the DNS settings page:
- Navigate to the Products page
- Scroll down to “All Products and Services”
- In the “Domains” tab, locate your domain and click “DNS”.
- Select the “Manage DNS records” card
- This will take you to the DNS management page for that domain
2. Add MX Records
Select Add New Record.
Fill in the record fields as follows:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | MX |
| Name | @ |
| Priority | 10 |
| Value | mx1.smoothdns-mail.co |
| TTL | 1/2 Hour |
Click Save.
Repeat for the second MX record, but modify the Value and Priority fields as follows:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Value | mx2.smoothdns-mail.co |
| Priority | 20 |
3. Add SPF Record
Select Add new record. Fill in the record fields as follows:
| Field | Value |

That’s it! DNS changes can take up to 24-48 hours to propagate, though usually much faster.
