How to configure my hosting provider for email when DNS redirection already in place?
- by Johann
First of all I apologize for my poor understanding of network and I hope I used the correct terminology for everything:
I have bought a domain name with 1&1 to create an online shop, using kingeshop. I followed the steps explains here to point the domain name to kingeshop IP address and everything is working fine.
Now I would also like to use my domain name to create an email account. But 1&1 seems to say they're not responsible for this now the DNS is transfered to kingeshop's. What I'm wondering is who is really "in charge" of my domain name now?
1&1 also lets me configure the MX-record but I don't have a clue what I can do with this. Could I just use an existing gmail address somehow?
Thanks a lot for any help or clarity you can bring me on that matter!
