I want to add mx record on my domain name provider's management web page.


The hgoods.site is my domain name, 23.83.253.71 is my vps_ip.



An error occur when to click SUBMIT.

There were problem(s) with your request:

23.83.253.71 must be a valid host

Please make applicable changes and try again.

Hi,

You should ask your dns provider, what would be the hostname and target hostname.

If I had to guess, I think that you should leave the hostname field blank (so it reads .hgoods.site) and use mail.hgoods.site as the target hostname.
But as I told you this is just a guess, so better contact your registrar's support. Besides you're paying them for this.

Regards

Typically you need to point an MX record at an A record.

Set up an A record for mail.hgoods.site pointing at th IPv4 address required

What do you want your email domain (the bit after the @) to be?

If you want it to be @hgoods.site then you will need to either:

1. Leave the field empty
2. Or, place a @ symbol in the field

It depends on your DNS hosting provider.

Also that TTL value seems a bit large. I would start with a small TTL until you are happy with the results, then increase the TTL later.

TTL value is in minutes and influences how quickly you can propagate a DNS change across the Internet a TTL of 240 would mean a DNS server would not re-request information for 4 hours.
