# Add a Domain

> Connect your domain, buy a new one, or start with a Migma address.

Add a sending domain before production sends. Use a domain you own, buy a new one, or start with a Migma managed address for testing.

## Setup paths

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Use my domain" icon="globe">
    Connect a domain you own. Migma prepares DNS records and opens one-click setup through Entri when available.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Buy a domain" icon="credit-card" href="/sending-domains/buy-domain">
    Register a new domain from Migma and let Migma prepare sending setup.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Start with a Migma address" icon="bolt">
    Create a `migma.email` sending address without DNS.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Use my domain

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Sending Domains">
    Go to **Sending Domains** and click **Add Domain**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Use my domain">
    Enter your domain, such as `yourdomain.com` or `mail.yourdomain.com`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up DNS">
    Use Entri one-click setup when shown, Cloudflare sign-in when available, or copy records manually.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify">
    Return to Migma and click **Verify**. DNS can take minutes to propagate.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Sending subdomains such as `mail.yourdomain.com` or `updates.yourdomain.com` help isolate campaign reputation.
</Tip>

## Start with a Migma address

Use this path when you need a test sender or API sender now.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Add Domain">
    Go to **Sending Domains → Add Domain**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Start with a Migma address">
    Pick a prefix for `yourprefix.migma.email`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send">
    Migma verifies the managed domain instantly. Managed domains have stricter reputation limits than domains you own.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## After verification

* Send from any address at your verified domain, such as `hello@yourdomain.com`.
* Start [domain warming](/sending-domains/domain-warming) for new domains.
* Review [domain settings](/sending-domains/domain-settings) before larger sends.
