Creating an email address and setting up a DNS server

This section describes how to create an email address and set up a DNS server.

If you already have an email address to use with your web service, this step is not necessary.

This section describes the case of creating a new email address at the same time as the Web service.

General procedure for creating an email address

Get a domain

For information on how to get a domain, refer to the article on getting a domain name and setting up a DNS server.

Get domain name and set DNS server

Rent a shared rental server

The easiest way to get an email address is to rent a rental server with the ability to create an email address.

If the service that provides the domain has an email address creation service, you can also use it.

Log in to the management screen

Find out the IP address of the shared rental server

Go to the page where the IP address of the shared rental server is posted and make a note of the IP address. Make a note of the IP address as shown below.

59.106.185.101

DNS server mail settings

Set the mail of the DNS server.

A record settings

Set the A record in the subdomain "mail". Set the IP address of the shared rental server you checked earlier.

mail	A record	59.106.185.101

MX record settings

Set the MX record. This is a setting to enable domain resolution of the notation "xxx@perlclub.net".

empty	MX record	mail.perlclub.net

Email settings for shared rental server

It is a mail setting on the shared rental server.

Add domain name

Add the domain name "perlclub.net" from the Add Domain Name item.

Add email address

Create a new email address from Add Email Address.

#Personal email address
kimoto_test@perlclub.net

#Support email address
support@perlclub.net

Email client settings

After completing the settings on the shared rental server side, you can send and receive emails with the email client.

Use a search engine to search for "email client" to download and configure your favorite email client.

If you can send and receive emails, the settings are complete.
