Hi there, i searched through the threads for some instructions on how to connect my emails that are on cPanel to my website that is on Wix, but ive seemed to be running into some problems. The website used to be hosted seperately and I transfered the domain over to Wix. Somewhere in between I clearly did something wrong. All i want to do is keep the emails hosted on cPanel so i can connect them to the Mail app on my laptop. Ive added the MX records and A records in Wix but still seems to not be working, Dont know if there is another way to configure them. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much

  Hello, In order to modify the MX records to point to a specific location, you'll need to update them where DNS for the domain is hosted. This can typically be identified by running a dig command or by checking the whois (you can do this at sites like whatsmydns.net or who.is) information and looking where the nameservers are pointed. Once you've identified that, you can check the MX records to identify where they're pointed and modify them in the correct location to have the changes reflected.

  Trying to figure out what you've done I assume that you had Cpanel first ? When you bought Cpanel, you will have probably also been given a registra login where you can administer your domain name, and configure your name servers etc. Everything was pointing to your cpanel ?? By the sounds of things, it sounds to me that you've told everything that WIX now handles your DNS, and you've configured WIX to send email traffic to your cpanel ?? If this is the case, then what I would do is: At your registrar control panel, put everything back as it was and switch to advanced DNS. Configure your MX records to point to the cpanel server, and the html to point to wix.
