Congratulations on purchasing email hosting from Ness Web Solutions. Now that you have our best in class email hosting, you need to get DNS records setup, so you can start to receive emails!
Step 1: MX Records (Required)
MX Records indicate what mail server the emails should be sent to. You need to remove all other MX records, and these should be the only MX records for your domain.
Record Type | Host/Name | Points To/Record | Priority/Preference |
MX | "@", yourdomain.com, or leave it blank |
mx.emailarray.com |
5 |
MX | "@", yourdomain.com, or leave it blank |
mx2.emailarray.com |
10 |
Step 2: SPF Record (Required)
An SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record is a DNS record that specifies which mail servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of a domain to help prevent email spoofing.
Before you create this record, first check to see if your domain has an SPF record already. If it does, you should edit it and add in "include:emailarray.com" before "-all" at the end of the record.
If your domain does not have an SPF record, create the following record:
Record Type | Host/Name | TXT Value/Record |
TXT | "@", yourdomain.com, or leave it blank |
v=spf1 include:emailarray.com -all |
Step 3: Autodiscover Records (Reccomended)
Autodiscover records helps to make setting up your email on your devices faster, by pulling in server information automatically.
Record Type | Host/Name | IP Address/Record/Value |
A | autodiscover.[yourdomain.com] |
69.28.212.213] |
A |
autoconfig.[yourdomain.com] |
69.28.212.195
