What is an MX Record and how can I use it?

record controls which mail server deals with the email sent to your domain. With access to the MX record for your domain you can ensure email is routed to a mail server you are running or the mail server of another company providing this service to you. From Manage My Account, click on the Edit DNS Info button below the domain you want to configure for a mail server. MX Records are only supported when using either URL Forwarding or Use new2website Name Servers. For each section you will have a primary and secondary MX Record; the secondary server will be used if the primary server does not respond. In the MX Record 1 and MX Record 2 fields you may enter the IP Address or hostname for the mail server (ex., “192.168.1.55” or “mail.pie.shop”). Click on the Submit button at the bottom of the screen. It will take anywhere from 2 hours to 2 days for your new settings to take effect. There is no additional charge for this service.
