Adding a TXT Record in GoDaddy

This is about where to paste a record — for what the record should actually say, see the guide for your mail provider (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365) or generate a DMARC record.

  1. Log into GoDaddy and go to My Products.
  2. Find the domain, click the DNS button next to it (sometimes under a ⋯ menu).
  3. In DNS Management, click Add (or Add New Record).
  4. Set Type to TXT.
  5. Set Host to whichever name the record belongs at — @ for the root domain (SPF), _dmarc for DMARC, or selector._domainkey for DKIM (the exact selector comes from whoever sends your mail).
  6. Paste the record's value into TXT Value.
  7. Leave TTL on its default — no need to change it.
  8. Click Save.

GoDaddy's own propagation can be slower than some hosts — allow up to a few hours before assuming something's wrong.

Once it's live, check it free to confirm it's reading correctly.
