I am trying to get my .xyz site (igoogle.ipet.xyz to be CNAME to c.storage.googleapis.com)
In WHM I have added igoogle CNAME c.storage.googleapis.com to the site.xyz domain however it seems that google only is allowing .com domains or top level domains.
So I am wondering if anyone has been able to get this to work with .xyz or any newer domains
Your problem isn't the .xyz domain. GCS buckets may not have the word "google" or close misspellings in their name. See https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/naming#requirements

I have filled custom domain field with my domain and took 4 ip adresses to my domain acount website. After that, my github page redirects to the domain I wanted but there is no my website, it displays the website of domain owner company. what should i do?
This link explains how to use a custom domain on Github pages.
You need to make sure you put the 4 IP addresses you mentioned in the A host record area of the DNS for the domain.
Also, you will need to add a record in the "www" CNAME host record which points to yourusername.github.io for this to work.
Unable to validate the domain with GoDaddy after adding the CNAMEs from SendGrid
This was a simple fix. SendGrid asks you to add 3 CNAMES(5 CNAMES if branding needs to be enabled) for domain verification on your DNS Management Portal. Issue was that I was adding the entire CNAME which SendGrid was providing me, but GoDaddy just expects only the individual name, it appends the domain name to the CNAME during domain name resolution.
So for example, if SendGrid asks you to add something like below as a CNAME in GoDaddy,
ex0123.sub.domain.com, you should be adding only ex0123
for s1._domainkey.sub.domain.com you should be adding only s1._domainkey as the
For s2._domainkey.domain.com add only s2._domainkey
This fixed my issue, hope this helps you as well!
In my case, I struggled for a day and found this doc which says:-
Some DNS hosts will automatically add your top-level domain to the end of DNS records you create, which can turn a CNAME for “email.domain.com” into “email.domain.com.domain.com”. Be sure to follow the convention on existing records in your DNS panel when adding new ones, as sometimes you will only need to add what is to the left of the top-level domain.
For example, a CNAME for “email.” becomes “email.domain.com”
In Godaddy, you dont have to put domain name in CNAME records, just put the subdomain. Also, you need to put the entire VALUE string provided by Sendgrid in value field in Godaddy. as of Sep 2021.
The answer by Sreepriya Sreekumar worked perfectly but as of May 2021 in Godaddy I had to keep the full s2._domainkey.domain.com then it worked.
Steps 1 and 2 are exactly as written in that answer.
I recently got an account with a custom after the # email address. I can send emails from this, but cannot receive them. I am currently hosting my website with GitHub Pages, and am wondering how the MX records work. Zoho's documentation is kinda confusing: I am wondering how to set this up.
Thanks!
Github Pages doesn't directly have anything to do with your particular question I don't think.
The MX records need to be set as part of your DNS settings (or ZONE file), and therefore are related to your domain name rather than necessarily your hosting provider.
Unless your hosting provider also manages your DNS settings (as in my case with DigitalOcean), these settings will typically be managed with your domain registrar (e.g. GoDaddy, 123-Reg.co.uk etc.).
The documentation you link to provides walkthrough tutorials for many domain providers (e.g. GoDaddy etc.), but from what I can remember, you basically have two steps in setting up Zoho (which I also use - and wholeheartedly recommend!):
Add a temporary CNAME record to the DNS settings for your domain (using the details provided by Zoho) so that Zoho can verify you have administrative access to the domain record.
Add the two MX records to your domain record, again using the details provided by Zoho.
Here is an example set of DNS records containing the two Zoho MX records and the verify CNAME record to help illustrate:
Hope this helps.
So before i can start sending emails with MailGun, i need to verify the domain with several DNS records, two TXT and one CNAME record. My problem is that am a bit confused to if these records should be added on the Domain provider or is the "Advanced DNS Zone Editor" in hosting's CPanel sufficient to make the DNS changes.
An additional question, can adding a CNAME record "email.domain.com" mess anything up for sending & receiving functionality?
I would be thankful if anyone could help me clear this up.
Thanks
Adding the described DNS records in the hosting account solved my problem.
I would like find out how to keep my email hosting and domain registered and hosted with 123 reg (my current website host) but point my domain to another host where i want to move my website to?
Thanks in advance.
Edit the DNS records to
1. keep the MX records and naked domain A record (domain.tld only) - as is
2. Create A or CNAME records for www.domain.tld for the web site subdomain (www).
You may point the naked domain to another provider as well, but it might be a bit tricky with some DNS editing interfaces.
