If Your Hosting Provider is Listed There then select it, But if It is not Listed there Then there is No Problem Just click Other and Click Next.

In My Case, I am Using Digital Ocean Hosting which is not listed in the List, so Just Select other and Move On To Your DNS Page.

Now, Click on TXT and Click Add Record. After that Put @ in Hostname and the Remaining Text In Value.

After Successful Addition of TXT Record, Click on Proceed to TXT Verification. Then It will Verify If You Have added the Record The Right Way.

After that, You have to Configure your Mail Delivery System and This Can Be Easily Done by Adding Following MX Records in DNS Settings.

Host Name Address / Value Priority
@ mx.zoho.com 10
@ mx2.zoho.com 20
@ mx3.zoho.com 50

After Successful addition of these MX Records, Click Next.

Now, You Need to Configure SPF. To Do So Go to your DNS Page and add a TXT Records. Now Two values will be Provided to You From Zoho and You need to add these Values in Your TXT Record. Place @ in Hostname and The Remaining Text in Value Section and Click Create Record.

After that Click Add Selector. You can Fill Any Name in This Field But in This Tutorial, We will Fill Zoho and Click save.

Once You are done with This, You need to add a TXT Record to Your Domain. Now This is a little bit Different From previous TXT Records.

You need to copy the text Given under Hostname and Paste that in the Hostname Section in Your TXT Record.

Again Copy the Whole Text Given Under the Value section and Paste it Under Value in Your TXT Record and Then Click Add Record.

After that Click Verify, Then You will See an Error. But Don’t Worry as It takes time to Verify Ths Record and you Can Use the Services Of Zoho Meanwhile.
