Forward Domain Name Without Affecting Email


Question

I have a website hosted with godaddy along with domain names registered there.

I want to forward DOMAIN NAME A (hosted with email setup on godaddy) to DOMAIN NAME B (hosted with create.net and no email setup) without affecting the email of DOMAIN NAME A. How do I do this with godaddy? Everytime I forward it I cant receive any emails.

Any help is appreciated.

The mx record has nothing to do with the A record..if you only touch the A record mail will still flow.

If you screw with your dns hosting then everything will be hosed for about a day.

 

All I had to do was alter the A record to point to create.net ip address but it broke the emails of domain name A.

Do I need to alter the cname record for mail as that points to @ which in turn would point to create.net right?

Sorry let me rephrase.

Your dns should look like this

Www > ip of domain b

Mail > ip of doimain a mail server

Mx > mail.mydomain.com

Lets assume domain A is 1.1.1.1

Domain B is 2.2.2.2

Mail is also 1.1.1.1

The records would all change for domain A to 2.2.2.2 except for the mx record which should point to a mail server that is not 2.2.2.2, could be 1.1.1.1 or go daddys mail servers or whatever is hosting your mail

So your saying if I just alter the @ in the A record to point to the IP of domain B and leave all the rest alone then the mail will still work but may be interrupted for a few hours?

 

You should have two/three A records 

 

1 for your www record and maybe also one without pointing to your web site ip

1 for your mail usually mail.domain.com which is for your email

 

Then make sure your MX points to the mail.domain.com

I only have two A records: '@' which is pointing to the create.net and 'admin' which is pointing to godaddy hosting where the old site is.

The MX record is pointing to the old site where the email is setup.

 

I have entries under cname such as www which is pointing to @

 

Sorry if I sound thick. I've not had to alter domain records before.

    • Really? Do you want it spelled out? Ok: It was a funsies way to say that we can confidently asume that their update servers were shut down years ago already, and no updates have been developed or delivered to any LG phone in years, since, to begin, LG wasn't too well known for their software support.
    • Good afternoon, I have a customer who purchased a Dell laptop last year. One of the latest Inspirons. they are older so it can be a bit hard to see things on the screen. They are using Windows 11 Home 23H2, I have not upgraded them yet to 24H2. What I did was changed the scaling to 150% and that automatically made all the icons on desktop bigger and using in Chrome webpage elements are bigger etc. The thing is I overlooked the Taskbar and the icons most notably hidden within the arrow pointing up. I though by changing to 150% the scaling even the taskbar would get bigger. Again I don't know how I missed seeing that. Is this something that can be fixed? One other thing is I notice in File Explorer things are also small and not larger after the change. Can this be fixed as well?   Thank You.
    • Apple still has two unannounced features for iOS 26 by Hamid Ganji Apple held its WWDC25 event this month to unveil a slew of AI features and its new design for operating systems, known as Liquid Glass. While iOS 26 currently has no shortage of features, the iPhone maker might still have some features under wraps that didn’t make a debut at this month’s WWDC. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman writes in his weekly Power On newsletter that Apple didn’t announce two iOS 26 features at the WWDC event. The first feature is a live translation of conversations via AirPods, and the latter is the ability to sync your wireless network login information across devices at a hotel or gym. Even though these features were already tipped to arrive in iOS 26, Apple held them from the event, presumably because they’re still not ready to ship. Apple appears to have learned from its experience with Apple Intelligence and aims to break the habit of unveiling new features before they are ready for release. The Live Translation on iOS 26 is currently integrated with popular apps like Messages, FaceTime, and Phone to help users break language barriers and communicate in different languages. The feature is now under development for AirPods, allowing users to hear real-time speech translations. Moreover, the WiFi syncing feature allows you to sync your sign-in information across your entire Apple ecosystem, enabling you to connect to a public WiFi network with ease. This would eliminate the need to sign into a WiFi network separately on each device. While these features haven’t arrived in iOS 26 yet, they’re more likely to be released later this year, in October or December.
    • Intel Level L4 cache has been around for a long time, so AMD Zen 3D Cache is a copy of Intel L4 cache that was introduced with Broadwell i7-5775c, which had 128mb of Level L4 cache. Secondly, Zen 6 is not faster in single-threaded performance than 13900k/14900k. 285k is something new Intel is trying, basically showing us that chiplet design does not work for gaming, just like AMD design does not work for gaming. Throwing more cores at it and having L4 cache won't fix the issue, and that is frame dip and stuttering caused by a very stupid design decision to keep the memory controller outside the compute tile. Might as well put a memory controller by bringing back a south bridge chip. lol
