How to change your MX Record in cPanel?

An MX record is used by a mail server to route incoming email. Changing your MX record is usually done to redirect email to a remote server.

1. Log into your cPanel, navigate to Domains section > Zone Editor menu:
2. Click on the MX Entry icon for the domain you want to change the MX record.
3. Give the MX entry a priority between 0 and 10. The priority dictates in what order connecting to mail server locations should be attempted. The lower the number, the higher the priority.

Note: Entering a priority that is already being used will replace the pre-existing MX entry.

4. Enter the fully qualified domain name of the remote mail server.
5. Click on the Change button to complete the process.
