Edit an MX Record

This demo will show you how to edit an MX entry through your WHM (Web Host Manager).

NOTE: Follow the directions in this demo ONLY if you wish to have the account's mail duties handled by a 3rd party mail server. If you wish to have the account's mail delivered to your account with Acenet, Inc. leave your MX record as it is originally set. Changing your MX record to an invalid entry may cause a disruption in mail services.

This video depicts functionality contained only within WHM, a reseller only administration panel. This video does not apply to you if you do not have a Reseller hosting plan. If you do not have a reseller plan but wish to perform a task depicted in one of the WHM videos, please inquire further at our Helpdesk so that our technicians can assist you.
