I have a domain and private mail on Namecheap. I want to point my domain to InfinityFree nameservers in order to host and build my website on InfinityFree. I already read how to do that. What troubles me is what will happen with my email? How to proceed with it to keep using it?

How to point your domain to InfinityFree from other nameservers

Connecting your domain to InfinityFree is typically done by changing your domain’s nameservers to those provided by InfinityFree. However, there are instances where you might prefer or need to maintain control over your DNS settings, such as: You require advanced DNS configuration options beyond what InfinityFree provides. Your domain registrar doesn’t support custom nameserver settings. You want to host only certain subdomains with InfinityFree. You need to use specific features available onl…

You can make it work if you configure the right DNS records in our panel. Specifically, you will need to copy over the MX records of your domain (which are necessary to receive email) and the SPF record (which is a record of type TXT that with a value starting with v=spf1).

Note that our hosting does not support DKIM or DMARC records, which can be useful or even necessary to send email. If you do want to have such records, you may want to keep using Namecheap’s nameservers, and point your domain to our hosting by following the article @KangJL linked to above.

I have added mail email mx record from zoho, but they cannot be verified because of an mx record from ifastnet is still pointing to my domain. I have already deleted this mx record from my infinityfree dns.

If you updated the MX record but it’s not having any effect, that could indicate:

• The MX record is updated correctly but Zoho doesn’t see it yet due to DNS caching. This should resolve itself automatically after less than a day.
• Something is wrong with our panel resulting in DNS settings not taking effect.
• There is something else going on with your domain configuration that is causing this behavior.

If you have already confirmed it’s not DNS cache, or just wait us to check anyway, can you please respond with your domain name so we can check?
