[Get DMARC Monitoring](/email/dmarc) ###### [EMAIL SECURITY SERVICES](/) ###### [PLANS AND PRICING](/email/dmarc#pricingarea) ###### [DMARC REPORTING](/email/dmarc) Today, with _cybercriminals looking for the slightest of vulnerabilities to use your domain for spamming, spoofing, and phishing_, it has become necessary to set up **email authentication protocols** for your domain. If you use HostGator as your host, here is how you can set up [DMARC](/resources/what-is-dmarc) for your business domain. ![DMARC reporting](https://media.mailhop.org/duocircle/images/2021/06/dmarc-dkim-setup-hotgator.png) ### Setting And Implementing DMARC After You’ve Set Up HostGator DKIM One can follow these steps to set up **DMARC records** on HostGator: 1. After having logged in to your HostGator account, open the cPanel. (make sure your cPanel is at least of a version of 11.32 or later) 2. Navigate to Domains and click on Advanced [DNS Zone Editor](https://docs.cpanel.net/cpanel/domains/zone-editor/). 3. Click on the Add Record button, which will open up a form. (If you already see a record entry \_dmarc, there is no need to create a new one. Instead, go ahead and edit the existing record.) 4. In the Name field, enter \_dmarc. 5. In the TTL field, enter a value between 14400 (4 hours) and 86400 (1 day). (TTL – Time-To-Live specifies the seconds other DNS servers and applications are allowed to cache to the record). 6. For the Type, select TXT from the drop-down box. 7. In the TXT Data field, enter the TXT record data you must have generated by the [DMARC record generator](/resources/dmarc-record-generator). 8. Click on Add Record to publish the DMARC record. **Note: Enabling HostGator DKIM for Incoming and Outgoing Emails** Now you can enable HostGator [DKIM](/resources/what-is-dkim) by following the steps below: 1. Login to the HostGator account to access the cPanel. 2. In the next step, navigate to the Mail section and click on the **Email Authentication** icon. 3. Now under DKIM, click Enable. So, following the above guide, one can quickly set up DMARC for their domain and **enable DKIM** on HostGator to _ensure that emails sent through their domain are not infiltrated while in transit_, safeguarding both sender and receivers 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.
