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.

My domain is hosted at Godaddy and my project is at Digitalocean.
I want more than 15 custom emails, I know Godaddy offers email services but it is a little expensive for me. What I want is another services who offers create emails without transfer my domain name from Godaddy.
Thanks.
You can always purchase separate email service from MXRoute or Zoho, then please make sure you edit your DNS settings and point to correct settings.
I've purchased a domain for a website that I will host on AWS but I could not figure out how to create a custom email address for this domain. I would like to have something like marketing#domain.com.
Is it possible to do this?
Thanks
Yes. AWS has two services for email, Amazon Simple Simple Email Service (SES) and Amazon Workmail.
These two services can both send and receive email, but they are designed for different purposes. You can read more about each in the links above, and decide which one is best for you.
Its worth pointing out that you can host your mail with any provider. You can do this by setting the MX records in your DNS to the values that the mail host you select provides. Common choices for hosting mail, that are similarly priced to Amazon Workmail, are Google Workspaces (which is gmail with your own custom domain), Microsoft365, and GoDaddy has an email only plan, but there are myriad of providers that offer mail for your custom domain.
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.
If I have 1 user on my domain using google apps to host email. Is it possible to have a 2nd user using a different host?
e.g
user1#example.com - google apps
user2#example.com - godaddy
Thanks!
Yes, you actually can do this with a single domain. You accomplish this with Google App's Gmail App Routing Settings from the Google Apps Admin Console.
What you would do, is you would set Google Apps as your primary MX provider for your primary domain (MX Records for yourdomain.com would point to ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM, et cetera) which would make Google Apps your domain's mail provider. You would then add your GoDaddy email servers as Hosts in the settings for the Gmail app in the Console. Then the next step is to setup your Routes so that when Google Apps receives an email meant for someone left on GoDaddy, Google Apps itself will re-route that email to your email servers on GoDaddy, and to the intended recipient. Finally, you'll want to set up on GoDaddy an Outbound Relay, so your outbound mail from GoDaddy goes through your Google Apps servers. Don't forget to set up SPF and DKIM email authentication.
For all your Routing needs, a good place to start would be the Google Apps Help page for Routing: https://support.google.com/a/topic/2921034?hl=en&ref_topic=14867

No, you can't do this with a single domain. That's because configuring Google Apps requires setting up your DNS in such a way that your hosting provider is out of the email loop entirely.
I just purchased a url from Godaddy, but looks like I have to pay to create any email addresses for it. Is there any otherway to not go through go daddy and just create an email address and host it on my own computer? I'm a programmer, but not familiar with email setup for websites.
No you need to have a good hosting account that can help you create unlimited few emails.if you don't much money you can search for cheap or free hosting services that can host your url/website
