How to configure Separate Domain registrar, Web host and Email host settings? [duplicate]

  • 772

Let's say we have a domain example.com

  1. Domain registrar : NAME.COM
  2. Web Host : IPAGE.COM
  3. Email Host : GMAIL (Google Apps)

My understanding is that:

  • I should add MX records to use Gmail (clear)
  • I must add A record to use Ipage hosting (clear)

What should be the Nameserver values? Should I keep the nameserver values of NAME.COM or change them to IPAGE nameserver values? And is it necessary to change nameservers?

UPDATE: I wanna make everything clear before I make actual changes.

  1. After not finding a satisfactory answer I gave try to the concepts already mentioned in the question:

    1. I set MX records to Gmail (Google Apps)
    2. I set A record to Ipage (Where website is hosted)

    But to do that, I first had to set Nameservers to default nameservers of Name.com

    Now my:

    1. DNS host is name.com
    2. Website host ipage.com
    3. Email server Gmail (Google apps)

    And everything is working like a charm.
