Hello,

I help my Grandpa run www.mannafox.com, and he's interested in getting a mannafox.com email address. I told him I'd look into it, but I'm thinking he maybe needs to talk with the company he registered the domain with. Both of us are pretty new to this, and I did search before I posted this. Thanks,


Brad

Typically, this requires two things:

1) an MX record in your domain name server (DNS)
2) a Mail server with SMTP and either POP3 or IMAP support

If you are hosting your web site with a hosting company, then they are the logical choice to run your mail server and DNS as well. If this is the case, then asking them is the logical next step. From the DNS records it looks like you are hosted by xcelco.on.ca and registered by by domaindiscover.com, so contacting them might be a good first step.

hi Brad,

Questions: Do you have a host as such? I am assuming you do, since you already have a website up. Normally a host will provide you with a control panel, that allows you to setup your own email addresses. Have they given you details for this?

thePurpleGiant...
So is your wide, Safari-breaking sig intentional? Sure doesn't make it very easy to read this thread

EDIT: Thanks for making the adjustment!

I sent an email to domaindiscover, and they replied in less than 10 minutes. Cool. Anyway, they suggested talking to who hosts the site, unless we want to host everything with them. Thanks for the help guys.
