What are MX Records?
MX stands for mail exchanger. MX records specify the mail server that will receive and send emails through your domain.
This record is required to be set up if you wish to continue receiving emails at your domain. Generally, we can copy the records from your previous name servers but only before you've made the switch. Contact your Email Provider to learn how to obtain this information.
If you do not currently receive email at the domain but you would like to, we recommend you Set Up Google Apps.
