CONNECT YOUR DOMAIN

Connect your domain: DNS guides by provider

Two records (an A and a CNAME) at the company that holds your domain. Remo never asks for your password; you add them yourself, following the screens of your provider. Your account shows the same guide with your own domain and the exact values.

Never delete or edit MX or TXT rows: that is your email. Leave an A row named mail alone too.
