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

To Change Your MX Records for Your Register.com Account

  1. Log in to your account manager at Register.com.
  2. From the Main Menu, select the domain name you want to edit.
  3. In the Advanced Technical Settings dropdown menu, select Edit MX Record.
  4. In the Edit MX Record section, replace the existing records with the following information:
    • MX preference = 0, mail exchanger = smtp.secureserver.net.
    • MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mailstore1.secureserver.net.
  5. Save the changes.
