Transfering email

  • We want to transfer a domain to WordPress.
    Email for this domain is currently hosted on same server as domain name.
    What happens to email when domain is transfered?

  • A domain name includes different types of records. For example:
    – The MX records type is responsible for handling emails.
    – The A records type indicates the IP address of the particular domain (which web servers need).

    In most cases, you can point only the A records of the domain to your new hosting platform. This means your current mail server will keep handling the emails.

    However, I’m not sure what you mean by to WordPress because WordPress is a CMS platform. Are you referring to a specific hosting platform by WordPress?

    It is worth noting that configuring a domain name has to be done by someone who knows how domain name servers work.

    Thank you for your rapid response.

    “configuring a domain name has to be done by someone who knows how domain name servers work.”

    Good advise.
    Admittedly, I’m a few generations behind the curve here.

    Thank you

    @crabby-cliff I recommend contacting the support of the service that hosts your domain name.

    Usually, hosting services have support agencies that assist with such requests. They will be able to help best with transferring your domain name.
