    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone has had experience with setting up DKIM using Namecheap. I am new to setting up DKIM and contacted Namecheap online support but they told me it wasnt possible. Was wondering if this was true.

    Thank you for your time,

    create nameservers and point ns1 and ns2 to your server. DKIM should be setup at your server, not on namecheap.

    Namecheap's DNS offers txt records and you can set up DKIM no problem

    that is only if you point your A record to a host and use their DNS, there is nothing wrong about it, it's just not in your control. I always recommend to use your own DNS.

    Namecheap doesn't have a problem with so many DNS queries from a single user? Most places that offer "free dns" have some kind of verbiage in their AUP/TOS about these types of things. Better to use your own properly configured DNS for DKIM and SPF. You could even serve these records statically to avoid having to use a DNS altogether.
