How to Modify Your MX Records

March 11, 2022 / Domain and DNS

An MX record (mail exchanger) routes incoming emails via the proper email server for your domain.

As the MX record is constantly associated with a domain, when you utilize Scala Hosting’s name servers, your MX record is automatically associated with your domain name, which includes our server IP address.

However, depending on your requirements, you may change this record to link to a third-party email server or add additional MX records.

This tutorial will teach you how to edit your domain’s MX records in cPanel.
