Registrar guide
Set up email on a Vercel domain
Once a domain uses Vercel nameservers, its DNS lives there too, and Faivelo connects to it directly: one click, approve, done. This guide also covers the manual path, and the one thing worth knowing before you move any domain to Vercel.
The whole setup is one click
- 1.
Add your domain in Faivelo
- 2.
Click Connect Vercel and approve
- 3.
Records appear and verify by themselves
This is the whole setup. The connection can only read and write domains, nothing about your projects or code, and you can revoke it in Vercel any time.
The manual path, if you prefer it
- 1Prefer to do it by hand? Open vercel.com/dashboard and go to Domains.
- 2Click your domain, then DNS Records.
- 3Add each entry your Faivelo dashboard lists.
- 4Leave the Name field empty for records on the root domain. Vercel uses blank, not @.
Vercel wants the root written as an empty Name field, not @. For subdomains, enter just the prefix, like _dmarc or autoconfig.
What your screen should look like
DNS RECORDS
| Name | Type | Value | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| (empty) | MX | mx.faivelo.com | 10 |
| autoconfig | CNAME | mx.faivelo.com | |
| (empty) | TXT | v=spf1 ... |
Typing @ in the Name field creates a record for the literal name "@", which nothing will ever look up. Leave it empty for the root.
What gets set up, in plain words
Receiving
One record tells the internet to deliver your mail to Faivelo.
MX
Sending and trust
These prove your mail is really yours, so it lands in inboxes instead of spam folders.
TXT ×4CNAME ×3MX
Device auto-setup optional
Optional but nice: phones and mail apps find their settings by themselves instead of asking for servers and ports.
CNAME ×2SRV ×3
You type less than you think
Add your domain to Faivelo, free, and your dashboard generates this exact set for your domain. Every value has a one-click copy next to it, and each record checks itself off the moment it goes live, so you always know what is done and what is left.
And you give nothing up: this is the same full SPF, DKIM and DMARC setup the big per-seat providers configure. The flat price changes what you pay, not what lands in inboxes.
Get your records, freeThings Vercel does differently
Moving nameservers to Vercel drops your old records
After a switch to Vercel nameservers, only the records Vercel knows about exist. Email records from the old DNS host vanish silently and mail stops arriving. If you moved your domain to deploy a site, add email records right after, or connect and let Faivelo restore them.
The root is blank, not @
Most panels use @ for the root. Vercel leaves the Name field empty instead, and typing @ creates a broken record that looks fine at a glance.
Your developer might own the Vercel account
If someone else deployed your site, the domain may live in their Vercel team, and the connect button needs their login, not yours. Forward them your Faivelo DNS page link; the connect takes them one click.
Check that it worked
Records usually go live within minutes, though caches can hold old answers for up to a day. Faivelo re-checks your domain automatically and emails you the moment everything verifies. Want an instant answer? Run a free email checkup on your domain and see exactly which records are live.
