MX and NS entries

  • 772

I was wondering about my domain and if this is correct.

First of all this is my set up:

  1. Domain registration at goddady.com
  2. Hosting at dreamhost
  3. mail at google apps

Until now I have set up the Google Apps MX entries in my domain through the GoDaddy manager, but now I want to set up the hosting I have from DreamHost.

I understand that all I have to do is to setup next dreamhost NS entries into the goddady domain manager:

NS1.DREAMHOST.COM.            66.33.206.206
NS2.DREAMHOST.COM.            208.96.10.221
NS3.DREAMHOST.COM.            66.33.216.216

My question is: will my mail keep working correctly once the MX entries I set up in GoDaddy are the google apps ones?

  1. It looks like from the details you have provided that DreamHost are going to be your DNS provider.

    So, once you have set up your MX records in DreamHost, you can switch your NameServers over at GoDaddy and everything will continue to work fine.

  2. You will change the DNS records in the Domain control Panel At Godaddy and have to update the MX records at DreamHost for using Google Apps.

    It is recommended to update the MX records in your hosting control panel prior to changing the DNS records at Domain Control panel for uninterrupted mail services.
