Creation of DNS Records
For each Domain Alias that you submit, you
would need to point this domain name to your primary domain name (for which you
have bought Email Hosting).
This can be accomplished by either one of these
ways:
Option 1
On the existing Name Servers of the Domain
Alias, replicate the Resource Records displayed in the View
Name Server Details button within the Order Details view page, of the Email
Hosting Order -
- a Mail Exchanger Record (MX Record)
pointing to the mail server for your primary domain name.
For example,
domain-alias-name.com IN MX 198765.mx.email-hosting-name.com.
- an Address Record (A Record) each for imap,
pop, smtp, webmail hosts to the IP Address of the Email Hosting domain
name.
For example,
imap.domain-alias-name.com IN A 209.62.85.240
pop.domain-alias-name.com IN A 209.62.85.240
smtp.domain-alias-name.com IN A 209.62.85.240
webmail.domain-alias-name.com IN A 67.15.47.17
IMPORTANT
The above mentioned A records for imap,
pop, smtp and webmail hosts are optional. You may create these, if you wish
to use imap.domain-alias-name.com/pop.domain-alias-name.com and smtp.domain-alias-name.com for managing email through an email client and
webmail.domain-alias-name.com for managing emails through a web-based interface.
Else, imap.email-hosting-name.com/pop.email-hosting-name.com, smtp.email-hosting-name.com
and webmail.email-hosting-name.com may be used.
Option 2
If your current DNS Service Provider does not
allow you to create this record, then you can follow the process listed below -
- Purchase Managed DNS Service
from ResellerClub for the alias domain name.
- Search for the domain name for which you have purchased the Email
Hosting package and go to the Order Details view.
