Hi, it's been awhile since I've gone on this forum. I hope you guys can help me. Here's my situation.
My work is hosting 6 domains....each individual domain is hosted by godaddy thru shared hosting, each with also email that is hosted by godaddy. So everything is manage by godaddy, bought from godaddy, you get the point.
My work just bought a dedicated server from godaddy also, so we're moving all of the websites from the shared hosting over to the dedicated. When the move is done, we want to cancel all of the shared hosting, but leave the domains alone. (That part I will take care of thru godaddy, but letting you know why).
Each of these individual domains have their own separate dns settings pointing to different nameservers, different shared hosting machines.
I want to be able to make it so that each time someone enters in www.mydomain.com, mydomain.com, ftp.mydomain.com, admin.mydomain.com, and whatever.mydomain.com it would redirect them to the websites that are store on the dedicated hosting machine and not the shared hosting, BUT I want to leave my MX records alone. I only want the dedicated server to hosting the websites, nothing much, I don't want to run a DNS server to host any of the records because If let's say the dedicated server goes down or website is turned off, email is still going thru.
This is how my DNS settings look like for each page
A Record
Host = @ (@=mydomain.com) Points to IP = 10.0.0.1
Cnames
Host = www Points to @
Host = ftp Points to @
host = admin Points to @
host = email Points to email.secureserver.net
host = mail Points to pop.secureserver.net
host = pop Points to pop.secureserver.net
host = smtp Points to smtp.secureserver.net
host = webmail Points to webmail.secureserver.net
host = e Points to email.secureserver.net
MX Record
Priority = 0 Host = @ Goes to smtp.secureserver.net
Priority = 10 Host = @ Goes to mailstore1.secureserver.net
I also have the ability to make a SPF Record, TXT Record, SRV Record, but i don't totally understand what they mean.
So once again, I just want it so that everytime someone types in the mydomain.com or www.mydomain.com or ftp.mydomain.com it'll redirect them to my dedicated server. And this dedicated machine will not run any DNS server. And if the dedicated machine goes offline, email will still go thru.
So if anyone can please help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your time and effort.
