Community Q&A:
CNAMES and MX records...
Hey, supposing I wanted to have a domain point somewhere else using CNAME (to use some Azure services), and I wanted both www.example.com and example.com to point there, would it be right to CNAME the www to root, the CNAME root to the Azure URL?
More importantly, I intend to try out Google Apps which uses the MX record. Googling around tells me that we can't have MX and CNAMEs mixing about. How do I solve this?
Thanks!!!

Hello stonefruits, Thanks for your question. It depends how Azure service advises to set this up (you usually have to follow their directions), but typically you would point the 'A record' for example.com to your service (Azure), then point the cname for www.example.com to: example.com You can modify cnames, and mx entries in the Advanced DNS Zone Editor. Then, you can follow this guide on modifying your MX record, which uses google as an example. This will not be affected by your cname modification. If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below. Thank you, -John-Paul |
