Depending on which of the above options you choose, you will receive an email containing more instructions.
Alt. 1 I would like Din Studio to handle email for @mywebsite.com
Your best option is to check the box I would like Din Studio to handle email for @mywebsite.com This is only for email that ends with @mywebsite.com and does not have any effect on email through another provider (like Gmail that ends with @gmail.com).
This alternative lets you create email addresses that end with @mywebsite.com at Din Studio.
This is a very good alternative even if you already have an email address linked to the domain and access it through a program like Outlook or Thunderbird. All you have to do is recreate email addresses at Din Studio after the change, update the settings in the email program and proceed as usual.
You will receive an email with instructions to change to our name servers at the domain:
ns1.dinstudio.com ns2.dinstudio.com
Alt. 2 Email for @mywebsite.com will be handled by my previous service provider
If you already have email linked to your domain and do not wish to move it but leave it with your current provider, click on the alternative Email for @mywebsite.com will be handled by my previous service provider (This alternative is necessary only in exceptional cases.)
You will receive an email with instructions regarding an alias. The alias should be entered in the domain’s DNS, thereby creating what is called a DNS pointer. This means that when your visitors surf to www.mywebsite.com, they will land at the website you built with Din Studio. NOTE! If they only write mywebsite.com (without www), they will not find your site.
If you are uncertain which alternative to choose, send an email to support and ask.
Regardless which of the above alternatives you select, you can probably get help from the people who helped you register your domain. This is routine for them, and they can fix is quickly.
When you have also made the change in the domain, it can take a while (sometimes up to 48 hours) before everything works the way it should. (This is because Internet servers need to process the new data.) You will be able to surf to your website at Din Studio via your own domain name.
