Hello,

I just come accross that I might need a place to host all mf my mail. Actually I'm pretty new to this and have no idea what I can do with it.

Im my case, I have my own host but I really don't want to put the sites and the mails into one host because I will be screwed up if the host down. This is why I want to get a saperate mail host/server. Yes! The new host ONLY for mails not for web sites.

Do I need a new domain for my mail hosting? If so, what I can do to apply a new host ONLY for mails.

If you have any suggestions, drop me a note here.

Thank you very much!

I have seen a few sites offering "Mail Only" services.. pretty cheap to if I remember, about $10 bucks or so.
I don't remember the sites names, as I just skimmed them cause I wasn't too intrested in it. :rolleyes:

Lookin into it for ya.. I'll post some links if I can find em

It's not hard to do. All you have to do is modify your MX records to point to another provider.

I've seen valai.net advertise email hosting services a few times on WHT. They have servers located with focalhosting in Florida, and focalhosting has a good reputation around here.

I just wondering that I change the MX records point to the email server then I'm all set. However, I also have a question for that. Do I need to transfer my domain to the email hosting or just change the NS at my registrar? Can I still using the external email server IF AND ONLY IF my current web hosting is down?
