Moving Your DNS Records to a New Provider

DNS Transition

The DNS Services infrastructure hosts the DNS records used by internet users to locate services such as your web and email servers. To prevent any disruptions to your business email or websites, you will need to move your DNS records to a new server. DNS Services are usually offered by web hosting and domain registrar providers. Cox recommends transferring your DNS records to the company you are currently using.
 

To prevent any disruption to your website, email, and related services, perform the following.

• Contact your domain registrar or other provider.
• Transfer your DNS records from Cox Business to the other provider's service.
• Validate the functionality of your website's DNS and Webhosting service.
• Send a test email to confirm that emails are routing correctly.
  
  Note: No charges are associated with this platform change and no other Cox Business services will be affected.

Cox Business Email

If you have Cox Email services, then request that your new DNS provider add mx.coxmail.com as an MX Record, in addition to your other records, to ensure there are no interruptions to your email services.
 

Go to webmail.coxbusiness.com, enter your User ID and Password, and then click Log In.
 

Note: If you do not remember your User ID or Password, or experience an issue signing in, then refer to Setting Up Your MyAccount Profile.
