Question "changing host of web but not email", by Anna P.

I need to point the web hosting to another hosting company but want to keep email with GAndi / Moonfruit. I believe i just need to change a records? What does this mean? Can i have a step by step guide please. Email must not be affected. I have the nameserver details from the new hoster.

thanks

Owen

Changing the nameservers for your domain away from Gandi will remove your access to GandiMail. You will need to keep your nameservers here if you want to keep your GandiMail. You will need to get either the IP address for new A records, or URL for new CNAME records, from your new webhost, so you can point your domain at it.
