I have a domain (.co.uk) with 123-reg
The content is hosted by arhoster.com
Form the 123-reg panel, I have done the following :
-Changed the 2 DSN names to the ARHOSTER names
But what do I need to do for the following (if anything) :
- MX Records (is it email ?)
- CNAME
- A
- TXT
I want everything (mail, content, etc..) to be managed by ARHOSTER, apart from the domain registration.
Thank you.
How to setup DNS settings (such as MX, A, CNAME, TXT)?
MX *is* email. You have to provide a valid DNS name that is your mail server (not an IP address).
You don't need a CNAME record.
You don't need a TXT record (unless your provider says you do for SPF)
The A records point a name to a number...so you might need an "A" record to point "www.yourdomain.co.uk" to the IP address you want it to point to.
