MX RECORDS

Your DNS includes many other settings that are not required by your website. Most common is your MX Records, which is for your email. Since you're not moving your emails to MOBLE, it is important not to change your MX Records, otherwise your emails might go down.
"So that should make sense now to you. When you are ready now, go and set up your domain name. If you're an older company and you've had many websites before, you might just check with your IT department when you're ready, because they'll have a few things going on, no doubt, with their history of what they've been using your domain name for. The Golden Rule is don't ever change your MX record. Your MX records are for your email. If you change your MX records, your emails are going to go down. If you change your A records, it's just going to flip from one website to another, right?
MX records, don't change it at all. That's top advice there because that's what I do see some people go and change. You might be looking at old instructions and this, that, and the other from previous providers or anything like that. Just don't touch your MX records. We're only doing the A record, the CNAME for www and the TXT, so white label those emails coming off the forms."
