How To Change MX Records

MX records are one of the DNS Records that may change over time. If your email is hosted with us, these records are set automatically. However, if you use a different provider, they will provide you with one or more MX Records that you need to add manually.

Before updating your MX Records, check your name servers to determine where to manage them. Below are Vodien's name servers:

• ns1.vodien.com
• ns2.vodien.com
• ns3.vodien.com

If you're using the name servers listed above, this guide will help you manage MX records through your account manager or hosting manager.

Here are the steps on how to change your MX records via your Account Manager:

1. Log in to your account manager.
2. Click Domains from the top menu.
3. Click on the Domain Name that you wish to manage. If you only have (1) one domain, you will automatically be routed to its management page.
4. Scroll down and click Manage DNS.
5. To update an existing MX Record, scroll through the list to look for the MX Record that you wish to update, then replace the current values.
