Check the status of DNS records for email

To send emails from a custom domain, the domain’s DNS must be updated with the required DNS record values (SPF, DKIM, or DMARC). A domain’s DNS records must be detected by the WPVIP Platform before the domain can be used for sending emails.

VIP Authentication

VIP Authentication enables users to log in to the VIP Dashboard securely, by signing in with their GitHub or WordPress.com user account and verifying their identity with a preferred multi-factor authentication (MFA) method.

Custom Deployment enables application code to be developed in a version control system outside of an application’s wpcomvip GitHub repository.
