What are MX records? Print

  • 0

MX records are the signposts that tell the internet where to deliver your domain’s email. MX stands for “Mail eXchange”. Without them, email has nowhere to go.

Good to know

  • With our hosting, MX records are set up automatically — you do not need to touch them.
  • Using another email company? Add their MX records with our DNS Configuration Assistant (Domains Menu).
  • They often come with a priority number — smaller numbers are tried first.

💡 Handy tip

Only use the MX records from one email provider at a time, or your mail can get confused.
