MX Record

[nikky]

Do you what MX Record mean?
I have seen that in the package plans of Dayana Host and want to know more of its functionality.
Thanks.

MX record is the mail exchange record. You may point your mail server under your appropriate domain names to your own mail server, and manage all the mail settings by yourself. Just fill in the IP address of your server online, it will help you forward all the emails under your appropriate domain name to your own mail server.

They are regords for the Email settings first of all.
May I ask why are you looking for this information?

When a server decides to send SMTP mail, the relative priority of an MX server is determined by the preference number present in the DNS MX record of the recipient's domain. When a remote client (typically another mail server) does an MX lookup for the domain name, it gets a list of servers and their preference numbers. The smallest preference number has the highest priority and any server with the highest priority must be tried first. To provide reliable mail transmission, the SMTP client must be able to try (and retry) each of the relevant addresses in this list in order, until a delivery attempt succeeds.[3] If there is more than one MX record with the same preference number, all of those must be tried before moving on to lower-priority entries.

I see that Dayanahost.com offers many other useful features in their package plans.
Pricing is modest and support is active for 24 hours.

As I see Dayana Host specializes in delivering a shared service as they offer many package plans which are good for the web masters with different budgets and demands.
