I recommend asking them for the correct and complete DNS records.

MX 1 mx.ipage.com

What about the others ? :(

I have WordPress since 2007 , but never done this DNS stuff.
My problem is exactly when following the tutorial.
Ipage gave me MX and addresses (3). But how to edit the DNS with this information ? That's the sample:

MX <pref> <host>.
TXT <text>
CNAME <subdomain> <host>.
A <subdomain> <IP>
SRV <_service._protocol> <priority> <weight> <port> <domain>

Thanks for replying :)

Thanks for replying.

I did go through this tutorial, but still do not know how to add the addresses. I want to keep my domain at WordPress but if I don't have this fixed , I have no other choice. :(

Thanks anyway. :)

I've being trying to change the MX records to ipage.com. I click on DOMAINS > ADD EMAIL > OTHER > ADD DNS Records

Once there I added MX 1 MX.IPAGE.COM

But it did not work. Ipage says I must add 3 addresses : 66.96.142.50 , 66.96.142.51 and 66.96.142.52.

How do I add them ? I do not see how through the example WordPress gives. I know It may be obvious, but I have no clue ...

I really appreciate for your help.
