Bluehost admins can easily set up [DMARC](/resources/what-is-dmarc) using cPanel consoles and by following the guidelines discussed below. ![DMARC selector](https://media.mailhop.org/duocircle/images/2021/06/DMARC-On-Bluehost.png) The objective of DMARC is to help **reduce spam**, preserve brand reputation and increase email deliverability by enabling domain owners to [prevent spoofing](/phishing-protection/how-to-prevent-phishing-and-spoofing). DMARC allows owners to tell other users how to handle unauthorized use of their email domain using the [DMARC record policy](https://www.agari.com/email-security-blog/what-is-dmarc-policy/). These policies include the following: - p=none or no action taken - p=quarantine or quarantining the email in the spam folder - p=reject, i.e., or rejecting these emails outright. DMARC also provides a [reporting mechanism](/resources/dmarc-aggregate-report) for admins to identify adversaries trying to spoof their domains. [![what is DMARC](https://www.duocircle.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/dmarc-record-setup-bluehost.png)](/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/dmarc-record-setup-bluehost.png) ### How To Setup DMARC Record On Bluehost? _One can set up DMARC without SPF or DKIM_, but that achieves nothing as these are prerequisites. DMARC is a simple one-line entry in a domain’s DNS records. Here are the steps you must follow if you are [using Bluehost](https://www.dmarcanalyzer.com/dmarc/dmarc-record-setup-guides/bluehost-dmarc-setup-guide/) as your hosting provider. - Log in to the user account of cPanel on Bluehost - Secondly, select “DNS Zone Editor” - Select the domain that is needed to be updated or edited. This action takes the user to DNS Zone Editor - Select “Add Record” to [publish DMARC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMARC). If there is a pre-existing DMARC record, you must edit that record only instead of creating a new one, as multiple DNS records cause errors. There will be several fields to fill up in the Modify DNS zone - Under the domain named “Host Record,” enter “\_dmarc” - Enter the TTL Value of choice in the field named “TTL” (for example, 1 hour) - Select TXT in the field “Type” - In “Points To,” type the DMARC TXT record - Select “Add Record” With these steps, the DMARC records will be successfully published in the DNS and appear in the records within 72 hours. ### Final Words Adversaries might misuse a domain in various ways if authentication protocols such as [SPF, DKIM, and DMARC](/resources/dkim-spf-and-dmarc) have not been implemented for the domain. As a domain owner, by adding DMARC records after adding SPF and DKIM, you have taken the first step towards **preventing spoofing** attempts by cyber adversaries, enhancing brand reputation, and improving email deliverability. SPF, DMARC, and DKIM should be implemented together for complete [email security](/) against spoofing from cyber adversaries. ##### Join the thousands of organizations that use DuoCircle --- Find out how affordable it is for your organization today and be pleasantly surprised.
