Email and Web Hosting on Different Servers in Under 2 Minutes
Point Your Domain to an External IP but keep Your Mail Local
Need to have your website on an outside server but keep your email on your local hosting account, it’s easy, learn how in 2 minutes.
Like me, you may have your email on an affordable cPanel hostinig account but need your website hosted on a more powerful server e.g. a cloud server, this is the best way to do that.
Make 4 quick entries in your cPanel or other hosting control panel and have your website hosted on one server and email on another.

One use-case will be hosting your website on a cloud server e.g. on AWS or Digital Ocean etc. but having your email on your regular shared hosting. Now you can have the best of both worlds by simply pointing your domain to the server where your website is hosted. Let me know if you have any questions, I'll be happy to help.
Thanks for instruction
this is not working
pls help me
Hey there, thanks for the tutorial. I have a domain registered on Namecheap, an email on Zoho mail & a website/funnel on Groove. Currently I'm only able to target either the mail or website to the domain. Wanna know how can I target/add records of both in the DNS. Kindly ignore my words if misinterpreted coz I'm not that technically sound in this matter
am not getting clearly hosting side need to update or email side we need to update a record and cname changes
Good how-to video. But I'm still not sure WHY I would want this done. What's the business advantage? More security?
Hello. Thanks for the video. I have a small question for you and i would be more than gratefull if you could help me out. On the second server, (172.16.254.1) what are the dns configuration i have to make?

Hi, the time of response of our hosting is slow, so we want to change the DNS to the new server and from there point to the old server where our mails are. Can you help us with that escenario? thanks
actually i need to vise versa of current showing condition mean i want to website hosting locally and mail server should be aother mail server ( clould mail sever third party mail server i have the mx recored of same can you help me for same
Hi Web Assist,
Does this process also work in a shared hosting scenario between two different accounts (external ip is different but same hosting)?
Thanks
Doesn't the MX record 'Destination' need to be changed to 'mail.demo-account.com' for the Mail to stay local and route through mail.demo-account A record and IP? I tried the setup in the video and mail could not be received locally.
bro incoming emails are not receiving to email server…
Man you saved my life, this is what exactly I was looking for. Thank you!!
Hi, Im learning how this hosting stuff works. Just a question. Can you point your domain name to 2 different outside server? one for web hosting and another one for email hosting.
Hello Web Assit, I have a domain with 2 emails on google. Can I point my domain to godaddy for building a website and still keep my email on google? My worry is that I can lose any old msg, contact or etc. Thanks
Hello. I started out with G Suite for a professional email. I set up two email accounts with my domain name. I pointed the domain to Hostgator because I’m building a website now. Do I need to follow these steps for my two email accounts? I’m not even sure I understand all of this, however I saw that pointing a domain to another host can affect the email accounts.
