kahnweiler Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 I have 4 domain names. 3 from godaddy and 1 from a specific registrar for .tr extension. I host one of them here and two of them for e-mail hosting at godaddy. I also want to use the one with .tr extension as an email domain at godaddy. But since the registrar claiming that they are not keeping mx and cname information godaddy is asking me to buy a separate hosting plan for that domain name. Can I work out something with my hosting plan from tch? I'm not planning to host a web site. I just need the mx and cname information to redirect to my email plan at godaddy. registrar's claim Where can I apply to added MX register? We do not keep MX records for domain names. You could add/make added MX records on the DNS server computers that you registered to us as DNS server godaddy's requirement Can I use your email account if I host my domain with another registrar? ANSWER: Yes, but you will have to change your Zone records (MX and CName) with your registrar. Follow the steps below. Step 1: Log in to your account at your domain registrar’s Web site. Step 2: Locate the Zone record set up for your domain. NOTE: Not all registrars will allow you to modify these records. If your registrar will not allow you to modify your Zone records contact their customer support for help. Step 3: Replace the existing records with the information below: ****** – MX preference = 0, mail exchanger = smtp.secureserver.net ****** – MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = mailstore1.secureserver.net If you would like to use your email in a POP3 client, change your CNAME records to the following: mail - map to pop.secureserver.net email - map to email.secureserver.net Does parking a domain name at TCH solve this problem? If not, can you please guide me? my registrar's mx policy really confused me. I tried to use zoneedit. You can edit mx and cname information but it doesn't have the godaddy's noted records. Quote
kahnweiler Posted January 17, 2005 Author Posted January 17, 2005 let me rephrase the question. If I park a domain name pointing the root, can I host that domain's e-mail at a different company? Quote
TCH-Rob Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 I would open a ticket asking that, I think so but they will give you the steps to follow to do so. Quote
Head Guru Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 If we host your DNS records, we would need you to open a ticket and we would modify your MX records to point to a different email server. Quote
