How do I start using the Email Hosting service?
Once you have purchased the Email Hosting service from Business Hosting Plus, you need to take the following steps to start using the service.
Change the Name Servers of your Domain name
To activate the service, you need to modify the Name servers of your Domain name
to Business Hosting Plus's Name servers.
Follow the
process outlined below to know what Name servers you need to use:
- Login to your
Control Panel and search for the Domain name for which you have purchased this service.
Click here to learn how >>
In the Order
List View that appears, click on that particular Domain Name.
In the details
view, click on View Name Server Details.
Here, you
would find the list of Name servers you need to set for your Domain name. Alternatively, if you wish to retain the Name servers of your Domain
name instead of using our Name servers, you would need to add the
records listed on this page on your Name servers.
IMPORTANTIf you do not use Business Hosting Plus's Name Servers or do not
modify your domain name's MX Record to point to our server, then you would not
be able to Receive emails from your domain name. If someone tries to send a mail
to an email account on your domain name immediately after you have either modified your domain name's Name Servers or
pointed your domain name's MX Record to ours, that person would encounter the following error message:
Error: Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host,
it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. (#5.4.6)
and no mails are delivered to that email account.
This issue will get resolved automatically half an hour after either
your domain name's Name Servers have been modified or your domain
name's MX Record has been pointed to ours.
