I have a (Windows) reseller account and am very happy with it.

Say I offered to host a web website for a company that already has web and email, what is the easiest way to go about doing this while ensuring their email service stays as it is? In other words only the web website transfers to my reseller hosting, not the email. Can this be done without transferring the domain over to EUK?

I recently did this the other way round for a customer (web stayed where it was and the emails moved to me).

Create the domain in your reseller account and then you need to change the nameservers to point at euk and then get support to alter the mx records (for the email) to point back at the original hosting

Support should be able to help you.

I see, thanks

So there would be a little bit of email disruption but not for too long?

shouldn't be any
get the website created in reseller - alter mx records - then change nameserver. Emails shouldn't suffer any disruption at all

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't cPanel allow you to modify your own MX records?
