How to use 2 different email providers (mydomain.com and sub.mydomain.com)

    Hi!

    Currently I own the domain steincomunicacion.cl and I have the domain mapping upgrade to use it with my website. And in the DNS Records section I have MX records registered so I can use G Suite for my corporate email (“(email visible only to moderators and staff)”)

    And now I need to create a bunch of email accounts administered by Zoho (and not G Suite), but maintaining G Suite for my email account. So I thought maybe I can create the other email accounts (Zoho) using a subdomain with its own DNS records ((email visible only to moderators and staff)). Does it make sense? How exactly I could do that?

    Thanks in advance!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    This is not possible. You cannot add MX records for two different providers to the same domain, even if you use subdomains.

    Subdomains are created by adding either a CNAME or an A record on the root domain, and as such they don’t have their own DNS.
