Adding a Custom Domain to a Webstudio Project with an Existing MX Record
At a glance
The community member is trying to add a custom domain to a Webstudio project, but is encountering an issue where the "@" CNAME conflicts with an existing MX record used for email. The community members suggest switching the DNS provider to Cloudflare, as it would resolve the issue and provide additional features. The community members explain that Cloudflare can be used as the DNS handler while keeping the current domain registrar (LWS).
Heya, to add my custom domain to a Webstudio project, the tool says I need to add "@" as a "CNAME"'s name. It actually conflicts with my DNS registrar (LWS), that says there's already an "MX" DNS record with "@" as its name, which is used to receive emails with the DNS. It means I can't add "@" as a CNAME to register my domain name with Webstudio, because I can't remove (or edit) the MX whose name is "@" as it would disallow receiving emails on the domain.
Would anyone have a solution to it please? Thanks in advance!
Can I do that while keeping LWS as the provider? Would Cloudflare technically act as something that "redirects" from the main domain name, or would it replace my current provider?
Okay, that makes sense! I think I've done that once. I believe that was free of charge as well (Cloudflare wise) Thanks for your feedback and help, I appreciate it 🙂
