How to register several domain names mail plus synology
To register multiple domain names and set up email hosting with Synology, you'll need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Register your domain names
You can register your domain names through a registrar such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Google Domains. Make sure to choose a registrar that allows you to manage DNS records.
Step 2: Set up DNS records
Once you've registered your domain names, you'll need to set up DNS records to point to your Synology NAS. You'll need to create the following records:
- A record: points your domain name to your Synology NAS's IP address
- MX record: points your domain name to your Synology NAS's mail server
- TXT record: verifies your domain ownership
You can set up these records through your registrar's DNS management panel or through your Synology NAS's DNS settings.
Step 3: Configure your Synology NAS
On your Synology NAS, go to Control Panel > Mail & Chat Services > Email Account > Add Email Account. Fill in the following information:
- Email address: the email address you want to use (e.g., [email protected])
- Password: the password you want to use for your email account
- Domain: the domain name you registered (e.g., yourdomain.com)
- Mail server: the mail server provided by your registrar or your Synology NAS (e.g., mail.yourdomain.com)
Step 4: Configure email forwarding
If you want to forward emails from one domain to another, you can set up email forwarding on your Synology NAS. Go to Control Panel > Mail & Chat Services > Email Account > Forwarding > Add Forwarding Rule.
Step 5: Verify your domain ownership
To verify your domain ownership, you'll need to add a TXT record to your DNS settings. This record will be used to verify that you own the domain name.
Step 6: Set up email clients
Once you've set up your email account on your Synology NAS, you can set up email clients such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird to access your email account.
Here are some additional tips:
- Make sure to update your DNS records regularly to ensure that your domain name is pointing to your Synology NAS.
- You can use a third-party email client such as Microsoft Exchange or Google Workspace to manage your email accounts.
- You can also use a third-party DNS service such as Cloudflare or DNSimple to manage your DNS records.
