andy_whitlock Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Just wondering the impact of changing our domain name (currently a .sch.uk). We run MS Exchange 2007. If we were to register a new domain (or speak with nominet), I'm guessing MS Exchange could still run under the old domain name & just forward mail to the new domain. Could this be hosted on the same server or would it require a different server? Open to thoughts & suggestions! Andy P.S. Also after a domain registrar who can handle .sch.uk domains where I'm able to control the DNS online?
nickbro Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 We registered a .org domain for our school, went though 123-reg. Got county to allow the SMTP traffic through their gateways and routed down to our exchange server. Just pointed the MX records of the domain at the county IP/A-Rec and set exchange to have another domain in it's allow list. You can now email us @crickhs.org and @crickhowell-hs.powys.sch.uk. the .org is a bit easier to say over the phone
plexer Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 It's just a matter of the correct records. Ariotek host our website and do dns and we use live@edu for email. Ben
andy_whitlock Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 nickbro, quite a seamless transfer then?
