Creation of DNS Records
For each Domain Alias that you submit, you would need to point this alias domain name to your primary domain name (for which you have bought Email Hosting). This can be accomplished by either one of these ways:
Option 1
Replicate the Resource Records on the existing Name Servers of the alias domain name -
- Search for the domain name for which you have purchased the Email Hosting package and proceed to the Order Details view. Click here to read how >>
- Click the View Name Server Details button. This will bring up the List Of Records view.
- Replicate for your alias domain name, the following Resource Records -
a. set the Mail Exchanger Records (MX Records) pointing to the mail servers for your primary domain name.
For example,
domain-alias-name.com IN MX orderid.mx1.email-hosting-name.com.
domain-alias-name.com IN MX orderid.mx2.email-hosting-name.com.
where, orderid = Order Id of the Email Hosting Order for your primary domain name (displayed under the Order Details view of the Email Hosting Order, within the Order Information section) Click here to read how to reach the Order Details view >>
b. set an Address Record (A Record) each for imap, pop, smtp and webmail hosts to the IP Address of the Email Hosting domain name.
For example,
imap.domain-alias-name.com IN A 209.62.85.240
pop.domain-alias-name.com IN A 209.62.85.240
smtp.domain-alias-name.com IN A 209.62.85.240
webmail.domain-alias-name.com IN A 67.15.47.17
IMPORTANTThe above mentioned A records for imap, pop, smtp and webmail hosts are optional. You may create these, if you wish to use imap.domain-alias-name.com/pop.domain-alias-name.com and smtp.domain-alias-name.com for managing email through an email client and webmail.domain-alias-name.com for managing email through a web-based interface.
Else, imap.email-hosting-name.com/pop.email-hosting-name.com, smtp.email-hosting-name.com and webmail.email-hosting-name.com may be used.
