How to setup private domain if I dont have an email on that private domain (that I own) to confirm setting from iCloud+
Yeah, I think the iCloud custom domain is just a redirect of your email -- I really haven't looked into it much.
Check step 2 here: https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud/add-a-custom-domain-mma473945269/icloud
sounds like you don't already need email.
But...
This page walks through settings (which I suspect your host may not provide if you don't have email)
If you don't have an email address on your domain, there is no point in setting up a custom email domain. Create your email address first.
Thanks for taking the time!
I had it before but when I transferred registrar, I never activated again. To activate it I must pay for the email feature which defeats the purpose of using icloud+ for this
Cheers!
I own a domain I want to use with Custom Email Domain on iCloud . However I dont have a current email on that account to receive verification data. How can I process the private domain settings?
