SiteGround Domain Verification Guide

If you use SiteGround to manage your website (like yourclinicname.com), here’s a quick guide to verifying your domain so Boxly can send emails on your behalf securely and reliably.

🌐 Verifying Your Domain in SiteGround for Boxly Email

Why Verify a Domain?

When Boxly sends emails on your behalf (like confirmations, reminders, or replies), verifying your domain proves to email providers (like Gmail or Outlook) that Boxly has permission to do so. This improves email deliverability, helps reduce the chances of your emails going to spam, and keeps your communication professional and secure.

Note: Verifying your domain does not guarantee that emails will never go to spam; it simply increases the likelihood that they’ll be delivered successfully.

SiteGround is a domain provider; think of them as online landlords for your web address.

Verifying your domain proves that you own it.

Why that matters:

  • It helps email systems trust your messages, improving the chances they land in the inbox instead of spam.

  • It allows you to safely and securely send emails from [email protected].

  • It protects your domain from being spoofed or used by spammers pretending to be you.

✅ What You'll Be Setting Up

  1. DKIM – Adds a digital signature to your emails to prove they’re authentic.

  2. Custom Return-Path – Helps identify bouncebacks from failed emails.
