Hi - I'm hoping to get some help on this - I did a search but didn't come across a similar situation.

I have an LP Basic Hosting account - let's say its domain is abc.com

I have a friend that I help w/ her school reunion website - let's call that one xyz.com

She had been hosting xyz.com on a free host which was very limited - so I wanted to move xyz.com over to my account as an add-on domain.  Everything seemed straightforward until I realized that she'd been using the freebie host's web based e-mail.  She has hundreds of contacts and several folders w/ e-mail stored there.

So - I checked about hosting the web site as my add-on here but keeping her e-mail with them at the freebie (using the her@xyz.com e-mail still) - they said that was fine and gave me the MX Entry info to use.

I went to NetSol - changed the NS for xyz.com to the LP nameservers. 
I went into cpanel, added xyz.com as an add-on domain to my account
Then went into mail...  Modify MX Entry...  changed the MX Entry for her domain xyz.com to what they gave me - dpmail06.xxxx.com - and all looks good.

BUT - my question is - changing that - changing the MX entry for xyz.com - an add-on domian - should have NO effect on MY abc.com domain - right??? 

I got a little nervous when I saw the warning on that page:  "Warning: Changing your MX to something besides mail.abc.com will prevent us from managing your mail. Your email will no longer be sent to this server."   -  Even though I was changing HER domain mx record.


As a follow-up - do I also need to change her mx record for the entry that is a subdomain on my domain - i.e.    xyz.abc.com   -  no one will ever use that to mail so i wouldn't think so.

Thanks for any insight!

O!!!

I hope they'd let something like this slide...  This one is just a one pager type thing that I've always maintained for her (she's like 70 or something - whatever class of '54 high school would make her) - so - it's a pretty innocent thing...

I have 4 other separate (paid) accounts w/ LP - plus - a reseller account w/ 3 accounts under it currently...

Not to open a whole can of worms here, but - I also have a wordpress blog setup for my wife as an add-on under my personal account - think that would be outside of the T&C's?
