I hope someone can help with my situation, which is:
1. I have the domain (mysite.co.uk) with a registrar I am happy with.
2.The registrar also provides me with my email hosting, which I am also very happy with.
3. I am using an online web-builder for the site, which I am also very happy with. The "real" url of the site is
(www.mysite.web-builder.com)
4. I use the registrar control panel to point (www.mysite.co.uk) A record to the web-builder IP 99.99.99.99.
5. Within the web-builder there is an area in which I then point (www.mysite.web-builder.com) to (www.mysite.com)
Everything is fine except I am not able to receive emails sent via the forms on the web-builder to (anything@mysite.co.uk). Nor am I able to receive any email from the company which hosts the web-builder.
They tell me their solutions are:-
1) You can change the DNS to us but your domain and your email will not work temporarily while we wait for the DNS to propagate.
(Problem - I don't want to host the DNS with them)
2) You can change the DNS to us so your domain shows your site from our server and then we'll set up an A record so your email can be hosted elsewhere. Email will be down when the DNS changes.
(Problem - Don't want to change my DNS to them plus I think this seems too complicated and cannot have my email down)
3) You can host your email on your own server and keep the DNS as is. But, set up domain forwarding of (mysite.co.uk) to your (mysite.web-builder.com site)
(Problem - Doesn't this have SEO issues about forwarding?)
Sorry this is so long but it is driving me nuts.....
Thanks anyone who can help
kind regards
