I have a domain name ending with .sa
My current hosting company does not provide good service and features that I am looking for, but their email hosting service is great.
How can I keep the email hosting with them and move the webhosting of my domain to another hosting company?
Thanks and Happy New Year to you all:stickout

This needs modifications to your DNS zone files. Point A record to your web server, and point MX records to your mail server. Your current provider should be able to give you more details.

If you get your own IP for web hosting account you only need to modify the DNS zone in your current provider. If not then you have to use your web account provider's DNS service & point mail server entry (MX) to the email server.

How do you know hat the email service at the new web hosting company will not be as good as the current one? Why not just find somewhere that has good email and web hosting services, it'll be much easier that way and probably cheaper.

It is your current hosting company. Registrars will just probably direct you to your current hosting company.
