Domains and DNS

Fixing the site by editing MX is how hello@ dies on a Saturday.

MX records are mail. CNAME is the website. Do not mix them. | Bizzit guide

Mail and web are different DNS jobs. Bizzit points the web host. Google Workspace, Microsoft, or your registrar mail uses MX. Mixing them is an outage. Someone who was told to "change DNS" without being told which record. If mail works today, leave MX while you CNAME www.

Add a CNAME for the web hostname to slug.bizzit.io. Leave MX alone unless you are moving email on purpose. Custom domain is Pro at $12 a month. We do not host your mailbox as a SKU on this page.

Who this is for

Someone who was told to "change DNS" without being told which record. If that is not you, a different Bizzit guide will fit better, do not force this URL.

The actual answer

Mail and web are different DNS jobs. Bizzit points the web host. Google Workspace, Microsoft, or your registrar mail uses MX. Mixing them is an outage. The short version is still the one in the box at the top of this page. The rest of the article exists so you do not have to guess the limits.

Do this in order

Follow the steps. Skip the ones that are not your job. Do not add extra tools as if they were required SKUs.

  1. Screenshot existing MX before you touch DNS
  2. Add web CNAME only
  3. Wait TTL
  4. Send a test email to yourself
  5. Only then consider mail products

What not to do

Do not delete MX to "simplify." Do not CNAME the apex onto a mail host's instructions you copied from the wrong vendor. That is the usual way a useful page turns into a doorway, a fake comparison, or a brief Cipher cannot honor.

How this shows up on Bizzit

Create is where you brief Cipher. Pricing is public. Tools are public pages that do a job, they are not a second SKU you must buy.

Limits

We do not invent competitor prices, statistics, or features we have not shipped. If a sentence would require a lie, it does not belong here. Empty cells stay empty.

Limits and caveats

Do not delete MX to "simplify." Do not CNAME the apex onto a mail host's instructions you copied from the wrong vendor.

If a sentence would require a competitor SKU we have not verified, or a statistic we did not measure, it does not belong here.

What to do after you read this

If this page answered the query, open Create with the nouns from your own business, not a slogan. If it did not, you are probably in the wrong cluster: go back to the blog hub or Domains and DNS. Do not spin a second URL for a synonym. One intent per page is the whole point of this library.

Tools that actually do this job

These are public pages. Use them when the job is this job. They are not a second product you have to buy.

Questions people actually ask

Will Bizzit give me email?

Mailbox guess is a tool for thinking about names. Hosting mail is a different product. Do not break MX expecting us to be Google Workspace.

Workspace plus website?

Common pattern: MX to Google, CNAME www to slug.bizzit.io. Follow Google's MX docs for mail. Follow us for the web host.

Pro?

$12 for the custom site name. Registrar year separate.

TTL?

Minutes to hours. Private window to test.
