Yes, but you will have to direct your Mail Exchange (MX) records to point to our servers.

  2. In the DNS Settings section, select Edit DNS. The Edit DNS page displays.

    3. NOTE: If you have not edited DNS settings for this domain name, select Custom DNS Setting.

  3. In the DNS Manager-Advanced Tools panel, select Continue. The DNS Manager-Advanced Tools window displays.
  4. In the Mail Servers panel, select Add/Edit. The Mail Servers table displays.
  5. Select Delete to remove the existing records.
  6. In the Mail Servers table, enter the following information:
    • MX preference = 0, mail exchanger = smtp.secureserver.net.
    • MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mailstore1.secureserver.net.
