How do I manage MX records?

 

MX records are used for email services and is a resource record that specifies the server (or servers) responsible for accepting email messages for an associated domain name.  You typically would receive an MX record from your mail service provider to configure the domain for your email account.

 

Steps to create and access MX records in your Uniregistry account

 

1.  Log in to your account at Uniregistry.com by clicking the ‘LOG IN’ button in the upper-right corner of the homepage.

5. If you're not already using Uniregistry's name servers, click 'Activate Uniregistry DNS' to set Uniregistry's default name servers.

  • Is your domain already set up for website hosting?
    Changing name servers will affect any existing DNS records. If your domain is already configured for a website, you will need to create MX records via your current web host to avoid taking your website offline.

If you’re using a subdomain, enter it into the ‘Host(Name)’ field.  Otherwise, leave it blank.

Repeate steps 5 & 6 for any additional MX records.
