Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 6:47 pm

Adding MX records to HostGator is easy. To begin, open the HostGator control panel, and click on the Domains tab. On the Domains tab, click on the Add button. In the Add Domain dialog, enter the domain name, and select the MX record type. After filling out the required information, click on the Add button. The MX record will be added to the HostGator control panel.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with DNS records, we recommend that you contact your DNS provider or HostGator support for assistance. Adding MX records to your DNS zone file can be complex and incorrect entries can result in email delivery issues.

To view the MX record, click on the Domains tab, and under the domain name, click on the MX Records button. The MX record will be displayed in the MX Records dialog. After viewing the MX record, click on the OK button. The MX record will be added to the HostGator control panel, and the web server will be configured to use the MX record.
