I have tried everything to get my MX and TXT records working. I am currently using Zoho and although my email seems to be working when I check anything on mxtoolbox or dig it returns nothing. Zoho constantly notifies me that my mx records on not pointing at them. I am attempting to move over to ProtonMail but I cant get their verify TXT record to work. What am I doing wrong here?

Is snugpixel.com your real domain? Because I’m getting this when I use dig
snugpixel.com. 3599 IN SOA dns1.name-services.com. info.name-services.com. 1490779673 172800 900 1814400 3600
snugpixel.com. 3599 IN NS dns3.name-services.com.
snugpixel.com. 3599 IN NS dns2.name-services.com.
snugpixel.com. 3599 IN NS dns5.name-services.com.
snugpixel.com. 3599 IN NS dns4.name-services.com.
snugpixel.com. 3599 IN NS dns1.name-services.com.
snugpixel.com. 1799 IN A 98.124.243.34
Did you just change the NameServer records to DigitalOcean, because then you sometimes have to wait up to 48 hours for your old NS to transfer authority to DigitalOcean.
I’m showing the name servers for the domain to be:
dns1.name-services.com
dns2.name-services.com
dns3.name-services.com
dns4.name-services.com
dns5.name-services.com
When doing an MX look-up on the domain, no MX records are found. So my first question would be, are you setting those records up in the DigitalOcean Control Panel or at you domain registrar?
If what you’ve posted is from the DigitalOcean Control Panel, you’ll need to modify the name servers at the registrar (who you registered the domain with) to point to:
ns1.digitalocean.com
ns2.digitalocean.com
ns3.digitalocean.com
… and then let the name servers resolve before those records will be valid.
