Re: Email server and webserver hosting

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

So the host record like mail or www could have different IPs even they
are same domain ?

Whoever is hosting your external DNS zone simply adds host records:

<yourIPaddress> mail (or Whatever your mail server is called)
<WebHostingServiceIP> www

Here's my scenario, i have a domain registered and a fix ip. i have to
create a mail server locally and let other hosting service host my
website. But i have only 1 ip. i can setup mail server locally and set
mx record to point to my mai server but if i let other hosting service
host my website using the same domain name at their place would that be
possible ? how they gonna do that since i have only 1 fixed ip that
registered with my domain. If they hosted outside, they would use their
IP. Just want to know how they configure in their DNS to host
externally. Thanks

Regards
daniel
