asked on

can I host domain on NS and point MX record to ANHosting account for emails?

I have a domain hosted by Network Solutions and want to change the mailservers so I can host the email on my ANHosting account. Can I change the MX record to the static IP on my ANHosting account, and then add the domain on my account (even though the nameservers are with NS)? I'm not sure if this is possible. I figured I'd have to add the domain so when I create the email accounts I will have to select the domain name from the drop-down. Here are specs of my ANHosting account:

Hi,

Its possible. I use the dns of my domain provider. For my website, I point the host to the webhosting provider and for my email I point the mx to google as it is my provider.
