Steps to Setup DNS Record:
You can go to your registrar (e.g. godaddy, namecheap, google, etc) and open DNS settings of your domain then follow the following steps:
- Create a CNAME type Record
- Host value should be <subdomain_name_here>
- Points to value should be app.B-Linked.com
- Save the record.
Sometimes it takes upto 24 hours to propagate domain properly on the newly added A record. Once the domain is propagated properly we will start the setup on our end.
3. SMTP:
This tab will help you configure SMTP credentials (NOTE: SMTP credentials are used to send emails from your registered email server). By Default B-Linked SMTP credentials will be used, cons of this is that your clients will be able to see that email is coming from B-Linked mail server, if you have your SMTP setup they will see that it is coming from your mail server.
