How to maintain the email server in SitiosHispanos and the remote website?

To keep the mail server on our servers and your website pointing to a remote server, you must follow these steps from the DNS Zone:

Editing a DNS Zone is an advanced task. Any changes you make will have a propagation time until you see the changes.

1. In the control panel, go to Zone Editor under the Domains section.

1. Next, click on the Manage button for the domain you want to modify.

1. You will enter the DNS Zone editor. In this screen, you will see various data that you need to be aware of:

   1. In the Name column, you will see your domain and all the subdomains created in your account. Each domain or subdomain, according to its Record, will point to one server or another.

   2. The TTL column will show you the time (in seconds) it takes for the record change to be processed.

   3. The Type column is very important. It defines the Record Type assigned to the domain. Each Record (A, CNAME, MX, etc) allows for a specific type of data (IP, domain, string, etc).

   4. The Record column defines where the domain or subdomain will point to, using the defined record type. This is where you need to configure the destination server.

   5. The Edit button allows you to edit the record. When you modify it, it will change to Save the record.

   6. The Delete button will remove the record from the DNS Zone.

   7. At the top right, you will see a dropdown menu. This menu allows you to add a new Record to the DNS Zone.

From this point on, the specific steps to maintain the mail server with us while your main domain points to a remote server begin.

In the image, you will see a DNS Zone where the main domain points to a remote server.

• The main domain points to a remote server with IP 125.31.45.80

• The rest of the account's subdomains point to our IP 69.61.33.107

• The change you need to make is in the CNAME record mail.midominio.com.ar

• You will also need to change the MX record that defines the mail server.

1. So, the first change you need to make is this:

You should edit the CNAME record of mail.midominio.com.ar to an A record.

By changing the CNAME record to an A record, you will be able to enter the IP address of the SitiosHispanos server (you can find it by looking at the other records in the DNS Zone). Then, save the change.

1. In the first point of the image, you will see the previous record already modified and pointing to our server.

Now, you need to modify the MX record, where you have to change the main domain to mail.midominio.com.ar. This is the record we set up in point 5 earlier.

1. That's it. In your DNS Zone, you will have the A record of mail.midominio.com.ar pointing to our IP and the MX record pointing to this A record you created.
