A records / MX records
Date: 8th July, 2010
Having just fired off instructions to everyone I work with never to buy a domain name from Fast Hosts, here’s how to set up the A records and MX records:
First, an A record for the root:
Host name: [no name] Points to: xx.xx.xx.xx
Next, an A record for www:
Host name: www Points to: xx.xx.xx.xx
Then, an A record for email:
Host name: mail Points to: xx.xx.xx.xx
Finally, the MX record needs setting:
Points to: mail.domainname.com Priority: 10
