Can I use one provider for my website and another for email on the same domain?

Can I use one provider for my website and another for email on the same domain?

Yes, you can use the same domain for a website hosted by one provider and email handled by another. DNS records direct each service: website records point to your web hosting destination, while MX records specify where incoming email is delivered.

Ask both providers for the required values and check where your domain’s DNS zone is managed. Save a copy of the existing records before making changes. For email, also check the SPF, DKIM and DMARC records recommended by your email provider. If you change nameservers, make sure the new DNS zone includes all the necessary records, not just those for your website.
