MX Record (Mail Exchange Record)
A DNS entry that directs email to the correct server linked with a hosting account, ensuring messages are delivered.
An MX record is a special DNS entry that tells the internet where to deliver your email. It directs messages sent to your domain, such as info@yourdomain.com, to the correct mail server. Without a properly configured MX record, emails won't know where to go and will simply fail to deliver. Most hosting providers make managing these records simple through your control panel. Getting them right ensures your business emails reach their destination quickly and securely. It's a small but crucial part of making sure communication with your customers stays reliable and professional.
