Will changing Nameservers affect email?

Cheerag Nundlall · Oct 17, 2017

I have an old VPS and it has already setup with ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com and I am going to move to a new better vps server but the problem is I will keep nameservers on old host with that domain and setup a new domain with nameserver like
ns3.mynewdomain.com and ns4.mynewdomain.com, I am doubting this will affect to sending and receiving email on my new server. Does any one know how to correct this progress? what can I do to not affect to my emails?

Thanks in advance.

If you will update the nameservers then it will affect the working of the emails. If you would like to point emails to the server where they are currently pointing then you will need to do the below DNS changes -

1. Add the A record for mail.domain_name pointing to the old server
2, Add MX record as mail.domain_name
3. Update the email routing to remote mail exchanger

Please note, you will need to update the update those DNS records from the new server whose nameservers you are going to add.

I think, it will clear your idea.

I think yes. You can still get to Gmail regardless but your email for your domain will stop going to Gmail if you don't set it up at your host before changing nameservers.

You can face some issues during propagation time. After propagation time everything will be fine.
