Please translate this for us because we are newbies when it comes to domain issues:

Here is the question we asked the Domain Registrar:

Some email services like Fastmail.com have you set the nameserver 1 and nameserver 2 and then Fastmail.com sets all of the rest of the information for you. That seems to work with the way Accuwebhosting and Enom have the Domain controls laid out. Meaning, all that the access.enom.com control panel allows is for you to change the nameservers. [You have to set the default nameserver values to get access to anything else.]

But, other email services like theexwhyzee.com [forum will not accept correct spelling] want the user to set all of the mail server records [themselves]. theexwhyzee.com does not make any changes in the Domain. Please See this link:
https://www.theexwhyzee.com/account/...wn-Domain.html

So if we were to set the nameservers using access.enom.com then we would not be able to set the values for the MX Records, SPF Records, DKIM, and CNAME because we cannot edit those values unless we use the Default values for nameservers [this is specified on the control panel page]. So that is why we were asking if we can set the default values for nameservers first, then edit MX, SPF, DKIM, and CNAME, then go back and change the nameservers to the proper values. We do not think we can use WebsitePanel or SolidCP because we are using Windows 10 and are not running our own server.

So how do users [of your Domain service] change the MX, SPF, DKIM, CNAME, and nameserver values when using an [email] service like theexwhyzee.com that wants the user to do it all themself ???

Thank you.

Here is the reply we got:

Hello,

The current nameservers of your domain "___.com" are as follows.

ns1.___.com.
ns2.___.com.

You can verify it from the below URL.

https://intodns.com/___.com

It means where your current nameservers are pointing, you can manage your DNS zone from there, and any DNS record you have added will be affected.

If you use Enom's default nameservers, you will manage your DNS zone records like MX, SPF, DKIM, and CNAME from Enom, and any DNS records will be adequate from the Enom DNS zone.

And then, change the Enom's nameservers to any custom nameservers so the DNS records you have added to the Enom's DNS zone will not be affected.

In short, where your nameservers are pointing, you can manage your DNS zone from there.

Regards,

So I think what they are telling us is:

1. Change the nameservers to default values.
2. Edit the values for MX, SPF, DKIM, and CNAME.
3. Then go back and change the nameservers to the proper values.
The changing of the nameservers will not affect what we entered for MX, SPF, DKIM, and CNAME.

Do we correctly understand what the Domain Registrar replied ???

TIA
