Namecheap
Verify your domain on Namecheap with Resend.
Add Domain to Resend
First, login to your Resend Account and add a domain.
It is a best practice to use a subdomain (updates.example.com) instead of the root domain (example.com). This allows for proper reputation segmentation based on topics or purpose (e.g. transactional and marketing).
Login to Namecheap
Then, login to your Namecheap account, and go to the Advanced DNS page for the domain you want to verify.
Add MX SPF Record
Under the Mail Settings section, click the dropdown and select Custom MX.
If you are changing the MX configuration from Gmail to Custom MX, you need
to setup new MX records for
Gmail.
If you don’t setup new records, receiving mail in your gmail inboxes will
stop.
Add the MX Record from your domain in Resend to Namecheap and click “Save all changes”.
Below is a mapping of the record fields from Resend to Namecheap:
| Namecheap | Resend | Example Value |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Type | MX Record |
| Host | Name | send |
| TTL | - | Automatic |
| Value | Value | feedback-smtp.us-east-1.amazonses.com |
| - | Priority | 10 |
Omit your domain from the record values in Resend when you paste. Instead of
send.example.com, paste only send (or send.subdomain if you’re using a
subdomain).
Namecheap does not label the priority column. It is the empty column after
Value. Do not use the same priority for multiple records. If Priority 10
is already in use, try a number slightly higher like 11 or 12.
Add TXT SPF Record
Under the Host Records section, click Add New Record.
Add the TXT Record from your domain in Resend to Namecheap and click the checkmark to save.
Below is a mapping of the record fields from Resend to Namecheap:

| Host | Name | send |
| TTL | - | Automatic |

Omit your domain from the record values in Resend when you paste. Instead of
send.example.com, paste only send (or send.subdomain if you’re using a
subdomain).
Add TXT DKIM Records
In that same Host Records section, click Add New Record.
