How to Change MX Records

One of the DNS Records that gets changed from time to time is the MX Records. If you have your email hosted with us, this will be set automatically. If you are with a different provider they will be providing you with (1) one or more MX Records, which you need to add.

Before changing the MX Records, you will need to check your Name Servers. This way, you will have an idea where to manage your MX Records. Refer below for Voldien’s Name Servers:

• NS1.VODIEN.COM
• NS2.VODIEN.COM
• NS3.VODIEN.COM

If you’re using the Name Servers above, then this article will help you manage MX Records via your Account Manager or Hosting Manager.
