How to configure a domain (and email) on Vercel
To add a domain on Vercel, open the project, go to Settings then Domains, add yourdomain.com, and set the A record to 76.76.21.21 (or the CNAME Vercel shows for subdomains). Vercel does not send email, so add SPF, DKIM and DMARC records for your email provider separately.

Add the domain in Vercel
Project Settings then Domains then Add. Enter your domain; Vercel shows an A record (apex) or CNAME (subdomain).

Set the DNS record
At your DNS provider, add the A record 76.76.21.21 for the apex, or the CNAME cname.vercel-dns.com for www/subdomains.

Configure email authentication
Vercel is hosting only. For email, add SPF (v=spf1 include:your-esp -all), your provider's DKIM record, and DMARC at _dmarc.yourdomain.
Paste this into Vercel (or any AI builder) and fill the {braces}.
Add my domain {yourdomain.com} to this Vercel project. Tell me the exact A/CNAME records to create at my DNS provider, and give me copy-paste SPF, DKIM and DMARC records so email from this domain passes authentication. I send email with {your email provider}.FAQ
Can I send email from a Vercel-hosted domain?
Vercel hosts your site but does not provide email sending. Use an email API (Resend, SendGrid, Postmark) and add its SPF/DKIM records to your DNS.
Run your domain through our free checkers to confirm SPF, DKIM and DMARC resolve correctly.
