In the previous post, I shared with you how to create your own domain name with Zoho .
In addition to Zoho, you can create your own domain email with Yandex.
Compared to Zoho, Yandex is much better. You can add unlimited domains. You have up to 1000 mailboxes and unlimited storage.
Too much for personal needs.
The only downside:
Verify via phone number does not work with Viettel network. I have not tried Vina network yet.
The Mobi network definitely works.
So if you use Viettel network, you can borrow phone numbers of friends and relatives to verify for you. If not, go out to the sim store to buy a temporary 80k mobi sim.
Remember to bring your ID when buying a sim.
No more lengthy. I will show you how to create your own domain email with Yandex.
Contents
Sign up for a Yandex account.
First, you visit here to go to the Yandex account registration screen.
Enter the phone number. Then click the Send code button.
Then enter the verification code you received and click the Confirm button.
Now the phone number has been confirmed successfully.
Click on the Register button and you will be redirected to the personal information page.
You should take a few minutes to update your personal information.
Note : At the Yandex registration screen, there is an option I don’t have a mobile phone number . But you do need a phone number anyway.
Because if your account is locked, Yandex will ask you to enter a verification code sent by phone number to get your account back.
Add domain name to Yandex account.
Go to the domain management page .
Enter the domain name. Click the Connect domain button
Now you need to authenticate yourself as the domain owner.
Note : the next time you add a domain name, you need to log in with the @yandex.com account to add the domain.
There are two ways for you to authenticate the domain.
Method 1 : You create an html file and upload it to the public_html folder.
The file name and file content you follow the instructions given by Yandex.
Method 2 : Create a CNAME record with the name that Yandex provides and the value is mail.yandex.com.
This way you may have to wait a while for Yandex to receive DNS updates.
MX . record configuration
The MX record is required to receive mail.
You add an MX record as directed. Remember to delete all available MX records.
You can use MxToolBox to check the MX record. If there are 2 records as below, it is ok.
If successful you will notice the blue Domain Connected message.
Create web mail login link
Please add a CNAME record with name as mail and value as domain.mail.yandex.net
This way, you can access web mail with the mail.domain.com link.
Configure SPF and DKIM
Adding two SPF and DKIM records to DNS helps mail avoid falling into the spam folder.
On the domain management page , click the DNS Editor link button .
You will notice these 2 records as I circled in red below
The record with the most confusing content is DKIM. The other is the SPF record. You just copy the two corresponding records to DNS.
If DKIM is not displayed, click the Display record content link.
Here is the complete configuration in CloudFlare DNS :
Create an account with your own domain name
Now to create an account with your own domain name, enter your email address and corresponding password in the Mail For Domain page.
Create default email address
The default email address is used if the email is sent to non-existing mailboxes like xxx@ and so on.
To set the default email address, click on the Configure domain link and select the email address you want in the default address field .
Use email management software
If you want to check email on mobile, install Yandex apps for Android and iOS .
How to configure Yandex for Mail Client like Thunderbird, Outlook you see here.
If you want to use Yandex SMTP Server to send mail in WordPress, install WP Mail SMTP . Configure the SMTP section as Mail Client.
So you know how to create email with your own domain name with Yandex.
