Point Your Domain to an External IP but keep Your Mail Local
Need to have your website on an outside server but keep your email on your local hosting account, it's easy, learn how in 2 minutes.
Like me, you may have your email on an affordable cPanel hostinig account but need your website hosted on a more powerful server e.g. a cloud server, this is the best way to do that.
Make 4 quick entries in your cPanel or other hosting control panel and have your website hosted on one server and email on another.

One use-case will be hosting your website on a cloud server e.g. on AWS or Digital Ocean etc. but having your email on your regular shared hosting. Now you can have the best of both worlds by simply pointing your domain to the server where your website is hosted. Let me know if you have any questions, I'll be happy to help.

Hi, Im learning how this hosting stuff works. Just a question. Can you point your domain name to 2 different outside server? one for web hosting and another one for email hosting.

@WebAssist-Sites 5 лет назад

Hi Muhammad, thanks for watching the video. Indeed you can, the hosting will be the A record, your email will be the MX record. I recommend asking your hosting company to help you with this if you're not sure, they are usually quite helpful.

actually i need to vise versa of current showing condition mean i want to website hosting locally and mail server should be aother mail server ( clould mail sever third party mail server i have the mx recored of same can you help me for same

@WebAssist-Sites 4 года назад

Hi Anant Jawalkar, thank you for your question. That's possible, you'll need to update your MX records with the records for your outside email provider e.g. Google Gsuite.

Hey there, thanks for the tutorial. I have a domain registered on Namecheap, an email on Zoho mail & a website/funnel on Groove. Currently I'm only able to target either the mail or website to the domain. Wanna know how can I target/add records of both in the DNS. Kindly ignore my words if misinterpreted coz I'm not that technically sound in this matter

@AthloneH Год назад

Hi R V, thank you for your comment and watching the video. I think I understand what you're asking, in your domain control panel, you can specify different records for the various items e.g. MX records will be for mail

@grgoss1 Год назад

I too am trying to split my web host to Groove via their arrangement with Cloudflare and point the email to Microsoft 365 for my email server. No luck yet... hope to talk to Groove shortly to see if they can help. Thank you for this video.

Hello Web Assit, I have a domain with 2 emails on google. Can I point my domain to godaddy for building a website and still keep my email on google? My worry is that I can lose any old msg, contact or etc. Thanks

Hi Josi, my apologies for not replying, it seems the notification from YT was not sent for your question. You can point your A Record to one hosting account and use another for mail or another service for mail.

Hello. I started out with G Suite for a professional email. I set up two email accounts with my domain name. I pointed the domain to Hostgator because I’m building a website now. Do I need to follow these steps for my two email accounts? I’m not even sure I understand all of this, however I saw that pointing a domain to another host can affect the email accounts.

@WebAssist-Sites 6 лет назад

Hi Jae Ross, thank you for taking the time to watch the video, and for your question. I assume your two emails are already working with G Suite, if so then any further G Suite emails will work if you add them. If you're wanting to use your free mailboxes that come with your cPanel hosting account AND G Suite at the same time, I'm not sure this is possible, choose one or the other and go that route. I hope I'm understanding your question correctly, if not please reply and I'll be happy to help.

@jross7277 6 лет назад

Web Assist Yes. My emails are still working. I used one of them to send a test email to itself and it worked so I’m guessing nothing has changed since I pointed the domain to Hostgator. My question was did I need to take any further action? I don’t want to stop using G Suite. I like using Google. I thought I had more steps to take since I have gotten Hostgator involved for hosting my website. I think you are telling me I don’t have any other steps right? Hostgator will host the website and I can continue to use G Suite for my email needs right? Also you are saying if I try to use cpanel for email services at the same time I’m using G Suite for email services, I’ll have problems correct? Thank you for replying so rapidly. I really appreciate that.

@WebAssist-Sites 6 лет назад

You're most welcome Jae. Indeed you have it correct on all fronts, you don't have to do anything further and you can use G Suite along with Hostgator hosting your website. And yes if you had to change MX entries to use cPanel mailboxes, your G Suite mailboxes would stop working. So if your emails are working fine as is it's setup correctly and no further action on your part is required. Thanks again for watching the video Jae.

Doesn't the MX record 'Destination' need to be changed to 'mail.demo-account.com' for the Mail to stay local and route through mail.demo-account A record and IP? I tried the setup in the video and mail could not be received locally.

@@WebAssist-Sites the destination for the MX in this video is pointing to the domain name which will be pointed to the website hosting server not the mail server, hence mail not being receive 'locally' on the set mail server.

Hi Web Assist, Does this process also work in a shared hosting scenario between two different accounts (external ip is different but same hosting)? Thanks

@WebAssist-Sites 4 года назад

Hi Fernando Vasco and thanks for the question. It should work correctly as you're specifying the MX record. Some hosting companies may handle local (same server) email delivery differently though, I'd give it a test and see if it works correctly (keeping in mind that propagation may take 1 to 24 hours to complete before running the test).
