hi there,
I am a webmaster for a client who has recently bought hosting from lunarpages. The domain was bought from somewhere else however. I cannot change the name servers because my client has existing mail services with the company they bought their domain name from, so the helpdesk told me this:

> If you can forward the web server IP address, then we can make change to the
> A-Record of "www" for it to point to correct hosting IP address.

In your critical account info email to my client, it says my server is 'Nebula'. What i need is the IP address for this webserver. Thanks for that.

The server address is: nebula.lunarpages.com
Ip:64.235.234.130 (thats what a lookup returned for me)

I have a bad feeling that this might not be the best way to set it up! Why not move the domain over to lunarpages, so that www.domain.com and domain.com both work as the site, and just add their previous mailhost as an MX (maileXchanger) entry so that the mail gets managed by the previous host.

Would it not make sense to move the mail hosting over as well?

Just my 2 bytes!

Kata's right.  I think it would make life simpler in the long run to have mx and domain all in the same place, not to mention all your configurations in one place.  That would be my advice.
  Lunar has full POP3 capabilities, and especially if you want to take advantage of the listsrvr it's pretty much a must to show any list mailings originating from your true domain.  Otherwise a lot gets dropped as spam, even if you indicate what's going on-even in the headers.

I have my domains set up like that.

It's ok, as long as the IP address of the server never changes.

I don't like splitting up mail and web services and putting them on different servers, mine are all on the one server.

thanks for your help,

if my client agrees to move the domain and mail services over to Lunar, are there any charges involved? Also, what would the process be? Would i just have to cancel his existing mail service and start from scratch with u guys?

thanks!

Probably not.

Some companies charge a release fee for a domain name, but most don't.

To have a domain on lunarpages, and not just using the lunarpages nameservers, it costs $14.95 per year.

Hope that helps
