RE: FN-FORUM: Email issues: can you host your email separately from the web site?

Yeah, its just a case of changing the DNS records for the MX servers, (well
I say "just a case", but it really is quite simple once you get the hang of
it.


1st step I would say is work out who your going to be using for the email,
then check with them how they want you to go about it,

I use 123reg.co.uk for my dns needs, then simply point all email for the
domain to my gmail setup, or the clients existing ISP email address - but
123reg will also supply pop3 boxes etc,

Morning all,

A bit of an issue really. I have just moved a client's website (and
therefore email as well) to a new hosting company only to find that
their email services are piss poor and emails are taking ages to
deliver...
Rather than going through the pain of moving the whole site again, I
was wondering if I could use another company to take care of the
client's email accounts.. How would this work, with one company
hosting the web site and the other the email? Also, if you have any
recommendations of British email companies, then please do tell!

Many thanks,

D
