How to change bigrock domain free mail into host space

To change the free mail service provided by BigRock to a third-party email hosting service, you'll need to update the DNS settings of your domain. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:

Prerequisites:

1. You have a BigRock domain registered with them.
2. You have a third-party email hosting service set up (e.g., Google Workspace, Zoho Mail, etc.).
3. You have access to the DNS settings of your domain.

Step 1: Update the DNS settings

1. Log in to your BigRock account and go to the "Domain Manager" section.
2. Click on the "DNS" tab for your domain.
3. Look for the "Mail" or "MX" records and click on the "Edit" button.
4. Update the mail server settings to point to your third-party email hosting service. You can usually find these settings in your email hosting provider's documentation.

Example:

• For Google Workspace (formerly G Suite):
  • MX record: mx.google.com (priority 1)
  • MX record: alt1.google.com (priority 5)
  • MX record: alt2.google.com (priority 5)
• For Zoho Mail:
  • MX record: mx.zoho.com (priority 10)
  • MX record: mx2.zoho.com (priority 20)
  • MX record: mx3.zoho.com (priority 30)

Step 2: Verify the DNS changes

1. Wait for at least 24-48 hours for the DNS changes to propagate globally.
2. Verify that your domain's DNS settings have been updated correctly by checking the DNS records using a tool like Dig or Whois.

Step 3: Update your email client settings

1. Update your email client settings (e.g., Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) to use the new email hosting service.
2. Enter the new email server settings provided by your third-party email hosting service.

Important notes:

• Before making any changes, ensure you have a backup of your email data, as this process may affect your email service temporarily.
• If you're using BigRock's free mail service, you may lose access to your email account after updating the DNS settings.
• If you're experiencing issues with your email service after updating the DNS settings, contact your third-party email hosting service or BigRock's support team for assistance.

By following these steps, you should be able to change your BigRock domain's free mail service to a third-party email hosting service.
