(2022) Aligning a domain (DMARC identifier alignment) for email authentication - MailerLite tutorial

Domain alignment is the process of verifying that the domain in your email's "From:" header matches the domain you own. This tutorial demonstrates how to use DKIM and SPF records (that you have previously added through domain authentication) to achieve the DMARC identifier alignment for email authentication by adding them to your domain's DNS panel.

Do I need to create a subdomain first with my hosting provider?

I thought this would help me send a newsletter from a subdomain, but seems like that‘s not the case. So how can I send newsletters via my subdomain through Mailerlite?

Mailerlite doesn't even have a Live chat service during work hours in 2022.
On top of it, No respond to emails since 3-4 days.

I needed to add a DKIM record for mine which has been added, but I keep getting this message: DomainKeys/DKIM record is added, but TXT record name must be left empty. It's preventing me from authenticating my email domain. I've had this problem for a long time. I thought maybe waiting the 24hrs would help, but it's still doing it. I also got this message: SenderID/SPF is correctly configured. Pls help. Thanks.
