If you are "Connecting" also called "Redirecting" your domain purchased elsewhere so that it points to your WebSelf site, you are using WebSelf DNS settings.
In certain cases a DNS or MX settings change is necessary for your domain and linked services to work properly.
Here's how to change the DNS and MX settings for your domain connected to your WebSelf site.
IMPORTANT:
These settings affect how your domain works with other computers and the Internet. Changing these settings can result in a disruption in service to your website and emails. We therefore recommend only experienced users to make changes to these items.
