Fix GHL Domain Verification on GoDaddy

Why GHL Domain Verification Fails on GoDaddy

GoHighLevel domain verification fails on GoDaddy when the DNS records on your sending subdomain don't match what Mailgun expects. The most common cause is GoDaddy's DNS interface automatically appending your root domain to record names — so a DKIM record intended for pic._domainkey.mg.yourdomain.com ends up pointing to pic._domainkey.mg.yourdomain.com.yourdomain.com.

The Records GoHighLevel Requires (LC Email or Mailgun)

Whether GoHighLevel sends through its built-in LC Email or your own Mailgun account, the same five DNS record types are required on your sending subdomain (e.g., mg.yourdomain.com) for full verification. LC Email's SPF simply adds one include — include:spf.leadconnectorhq.com — alongside include:mailgun.org:

• SPF (TXT record): Authorizes Mailgun to send email on behalf of your subdomain. The value must include include:mailgun.org.
• DKIM (CNAME records): Two CNAME records that point to Mailgun's DKIM keys. These must be placed on the correct subdomain hostname.
• MX records: Two MX records pointing to mxa.mailgun.org and mxb.mailgun.org on your sending subdomain.
• Tracking CNAME: A CNAME record for open/click tracking, typically on email.mg.yourdomain.com.
• DMARC (TXT record): A DMARC policy record on your sending subdomain for email authentication alignment.

Common GoDaddy Mistakes

When adding DNS records in GoDaddy, the "Host" field should contain only the subdomain portion — not the full hostname. For example:

• For a TXT record on mg.yourdomain.com, enter mg as the Host, not mg.yourdomain.com.
• For DKIM on pic._domainkey.mg.yourdomain.com, enter pic._domainkey.mg as the Host.
• For MX records on the sending subdomain, enter mg as the Host.

GoDaddy automatically appends your root domain to whatever you enter in the Host field. If you enter the full hostname, it gets doubled.

How FixMySender Helps

FixMySender scans your current DNS records, identifies exactly which records are missing or misconfigured, and generates the correct values pre-formatted for GoDaddy's DNS interface. You get copy-paste-ready Host and Value fields — no guesswork about what GoDaddy will append.

After the records are applied, FixMySender confirms DNS propagation and verifies the domain inside GoHighLevel/Mailgun, providing verification proof and an implementation summary.
