Choosing an Email Sending Domain

[MartChris]

I want to choose an email sending domain that is different from from our usual office domain that staff use for communications daily. Can a setup that domain on hubspot without needing am email service provider like Google workspace? What is the best practise on specifically using a different domain for marketing emails?

Hello @MartChris 

To connect a domain as an email sending domain, it would need to meet the following requirements:

• The domain must be owned by your organizaion.
• The domain needs to be configured to receive mail as replies to marketing emails will be directed to the domain.
• You will need to be able to edit the domain's DNS records to connect an email sending domain following these instrcutions. 
  
  

Also note that domains carry their own email sending reputation.  A domain that has never been used to send email before needs to build up healthly sender reputation through a domain warm up.  Domains without sending reputation that have not been warmes up may face delivery and deliverabilty problems from a lack of email sending history.  You can learn more about how to warm up a new domain in this external help article.

Hi @DeliveryByJess

I added the alternative domain to Hubspot and verified it.

What do I need to do to use this domain when sending mail from now on?

Thank you.
