How do I set up SPF for my domain?


SPF (Sender Policy Framework) helps prevent email spoofing by specifying which servers are allowed to send email on behalf of your domain.

Step 1: Access your domain’s DNS settings

Log in to your domain registrar or hosting provider where your DNS is managed. If your domain is hosted with Akashi Hosting, you can use the cPanel Zone Editor.

Step 2: Add the SPF TXT record

  • Name/Host: @ or your domain name (example: yourdomain.com)
  • Type: TXT
  • Value: v=spf1 include:spf.akashihosting.org ~all
  • TTL: Leave as default or set to 3600

Step 3: Save and wait for propagation

DNS changes may take up to 24 hours to propagate. Use tools like MXToolbox SPF Checker to verify your SPF record.

Automatic SPF Setup with Akashi Hosting Nameservers

If your domain uses Akashi Hosting’s nameservers, SPF records are usually configured automatically for you. Manual setup is only necessary if you manage your DNS externally or require custom SPF settings.
