I have a shop currently running on shopify, but I brought the web domain myself, not through shopify, thus shopify doesn't allow me to make a website email account i.e. admin#mywebsitename.com .
I decided to purchased an iPage.com plan to make the website email address (admin#mywebsitename.com).
I am being instructed to repoint my website to new name servers but I'm afraid that will disrupt my shop.
Can anyone help me with how do i make a website email (admin#mywebsitename.com) with ipage.com, without disrupting my shopify shop.
all your help is appreciated
Make sure your MX entry is like this.
Then do to your advanced DNS settings and change your mail entry from CNAME to A record and then put the IP address of your mail server.

My client wishes to bring his website down and domain down permanently and delete all of these accounts. Hosting and domain are handled by HostGator. WordPress theme has the info#domail.com reference. His email is a gmail account. The problem is, he wants past customers who have been using info#domain.com to be redirected to his gmail account username#gmail.com. I tried using just the domain as a redirection tool, but it only seems to redirect to a different websit.com, not an actual email account. Is this possible? How would I do this for him? Thanks for whatever help or info anyone can offer.

i have a open cart website on my go-daddy hosting, my C-panel email in go-daddy is having some issue and the go-daddy is working on it. till then i want to use the email of my BIG ROCK hosting.
i want to know the SMTP settings of Big Rock and the MX entry
When ever you login in to the CPANEL , you will get this notice on the top.
Attention! Please register your email IDs used in non-smtp mails through cpanel plugin. Unregistered email IDs will not be allowed in non-smtp emails sent through scripts.
Go to Mail section and find "Registered Mail IDs" plugin in paper_lantern theme.
Just follow these steps and it will work.
I've just built a website for a customer which I'm currently hosting on Webfaction. I now want to point their company-TLD to the website I built, but I don't want to create an email nightmare for that company.
So my question; is it possible to only host the website of a domain on webfaction and leave the email hosting as it is now? All tips are welcome!
The answer to your question is yes you can leave email hosting as if for now.
You can also migrate email services from webfaction from which you are taking hosting or you can get email services later from many hosting companies.
For my website I took email services from host preneur because when I bought my domain I did not think that email service was required then.
I received a requirement and I'm totally lost, I hope some1 can light me.
This is my scenario:
The client bought a domain to google app, let's assume abc.com, I thought he also received a server space but he didn't apparently he only has the domain for mail etc (I don't get exactly how google apps works).
Now, this client needs a website (wordpress based) in that domain, so basically my boss will store the page on his server (JustHost) and with an add on, will make the domain point to that direction. So at end of the day people will be able to reach abc.com and the link will remain as it is.
I went into the google app, and I cannot find a settings or whatever that allow me to redirect the domain.
Does anyone know how does it works? I would appreciated any kind of help...
Kind Regards.
Go to Google Apps Page
Click Sign in (top right)
Enter customer's domain name
Change dropdown to Domain Management
Click go
Enter login details for apps administrator account.
Click Domain settings
Then click Domain names
I'm pretty sure you'll find your way from there. Shout if you're still stuck.
Justhost is annoying coz they block port 465 and 567 which gmail uses to send mail.
This means his wordpress can only send mail via justhost and not his google apps email account. As a result when people receive an email from him it will show as from username#justhost.com and his customers will probably think it is a scam email.
When you see this problem go to just host help desk and make a complaint, hopefully if they get enough complaints from their customers they will open up port 465 for us and then we can use our gmail accounts as the SMTP server.
I am helping a friend set up a website at Drupal Gardens. The domain is www.fromtheheartyoga.com. Previously the site was hosted at Modwest. While at Modwest I set them up with gmail/Google Apps for business (free version), so they could use the #fromtheheartyoga.com emails with gmail.
A few days ago I moved hosting from Modwest to Drupal Gardens. In order to get the domain working correctly I had to set up a CNAME record at DirectNIC (the domain provider) to point the domain "www.fromtheheartyoga.com" at the Drupal Garden site "fthy.drupalgardens.com". In order to do this I had to upgrade the DirectNIC account to a hosted account.
When I created the CNAME record, email stopped working. I later went in and updated the MX records at DirectNIC with all of the relevant Google Mail MX information. Email still didn't work. DirectNIC sait it could take as long as 48 hour for these changes to propagate. Thing is, when I updated the CNAME record, the domain began pointing to the new hosting environment almost immediately. Not so with the email.
That was Friday. As of today, none of the email addresses using the #fromtheheartyoga.com (gmail) have received any email. Every email I send from another account disappears into the internet. For the emails I send from my personal gmail account, I occasionally get a transfer update which includes, among other things the note that "The recipient server did not accept our requests to connect".
I can still send from the #fromtheheartyoga gmail account. Replies to emails sent from there also disappear.
I have had no luck with Google searches, unless the answer is right in front of me and I simply don't know enough about the issue to recognize it. Likewise here at StackOverflow. Any insights would be greatly appreciated

For compatibility reasons, you can't put a CNAME in the root domain; doing so will break email.
Use an A record instead.
Just make an A record for fromtheheartofyoga.com. The old BIND4 CNAME for a domain directive really wasn't right even back then. It's just more records to edit should you move again, who cares.
Edit to add: I don't know whether you get a definite IP address with your hosting service, you would have to know that for this to work.
