How to set up my domain with Zoho Mail

Organizations that already have a domain can set up their domain with Zoho Mail. If you do not have a domain you can buy one through Zoho. Below is a summary of the domain set up procedure if you already have a domain.

Domain setup

Add and Verify Domain

Add domain

The first step in setting up a domain is to add the domain and verify it. Do these steps to add an existing domain:

  1. Visit Zoho's pricing page, select a preferred plan and click SIGN UP.
  2. Enter your Name, Email ID/mobile number and Password to create a new account.
  3. Select the I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and click SIGN UP.
  4. Click Add Now to add your existing domain.
    You can also buy a new domain through Zoho if you do not own one.
  5. Enter your domain details in the Add Domain dialog and click Add.
  6. You have successfully added your domain. Click Proceed to domain verification to start the domain verification process.

Verify domain

You should have ownership over the domain you add and have access to its DNS. Zoho has a verification process to ensure this. There are two ways through which you can verify your domain.

  • One-click verification
  • Manual verification

One-click verification:

To verify your domain through one-click verification, login to your DNS provider, authenticate with Zoho Mail to use your DNS provider and add the DNS record. Your domain will be now be verified. The one-click verification option is currently available for the below domain providers:

Manual verification:

If your domain provider is not GoDaddy or 1&1, you can verify the domain through any one of the following ways:

  • CNAME method - Get a unique CNAME code generated and add it in your DNS Manager. You can view there the step-wise instructions to add the code for your specific provider. After adding the record, click Verify CNAME in the Domains page of the Admin Console.
  • TXT Record method - Copy the auto-generated zb code from Admin Console and add it in the TXT Record in your DNS Manager. After adding the record, click Verify TXT in the Domains page of the Admin Console. 
  • HTML method - Upload the given HTML file to a folder called zohoverify that you should create in root of your website. Now when you click Verify, your domain will be verified based on this file.

If domain verification fails, refer to Domain Verification Failure - Possible Reasons to learn more.

Note:

Upon domain verification, you can navigate to Admin Console. However, it is recommended that you follow the step-by-step process in the Email Setup panel. The below procedure describes the set up process from the Email Setup panel.

Add Users and Groups
