Introduction

Wondering if changing your name servers will disrupt your email accounts associated with your domain, such as info@myawesomewebsite.com? This article will provide you with clear and detailed information on how your email setup remains unaffected by switching name servers. We'll explain the steps taken by the Ezoic system to ensure your email continues to function smoothly and what to do if you encounter any issues. Stay informed and ensure seamless email communication as you integrate with Ezoic.

Overview

The Ezoic system ensures that your existing DNS settings remain unchanged during the name server change process. It performs a check to identify any potential errors in your current settings. The primary modification involves directing both www. and non-www. traffic to the Ezoic system, enabling the delivery of Ezoic-optimized versions of your site to users.

If you encounter issues with sending or receiving emails after integrating with Ezoic, it is likely due to the mispropagation of one or more DNS records, most commonly the MX record. To resolve this, you should compare the DNS records Ezoic holds with those at your hosting provider. Detailed instructions for this comparison process can be found here.

Tips and Best Practices

Here are some best practices and tips to ensure a smooth integration with Ezoic and to optimize your email functionality:

  1. Verify DNS Records: Before making any changes, ensure that all your current DNS records, particularly the MX records, are accurate and up-to-date. This prevents disruptions in your email service.
  2. Perform checks: After making the name server changes, check whether you can send and receive emails during propagation. This helps identify any delays or errors early on.
  3. Keep a Backup: Maintain a backup of your original DNS settings. This allows you to quickly revert to your previous configuration in case you encounter any issues during the integration process.

By adhering to these best practices, you can minimize the risk of email service interruptions and ensure a seamless experience when integrating Ezoic.
