MX Records/DNS Manager needed for Gmail?

dazia said 1 year ago:

So I’ve been searching for hours for the past day or so on what is going on. If you need to know my domain name, it is daziadesigns.com.

I have my domain through GoDaddy, I HAVE NOT chosen to have e-mail through them, I originally set it up to go through Gmail. So instead of having my GoDaddy email forwarded to Gmail, I just went ahead and made it look like I had one through them by masking it via Google Apps/Gmail etc.

Now I have not had a problem, except the last e-mail I received was in November 2011… I thought something was up, the only thing I’ve received is e-mails sent back to me since the e-mail no longer existed (craigslist replies etc), and I’ve tested sending myself e-mail several times and am not receiving notification e-mails for registration on websites. This is a huge problem ): I can send them out just fine apparently which may not even be right, though some one claimed to have received an e-mail from me.

Sorry this is so long or if this is created already, I cannot find a “search” function for the forum ):

Anyways. This is not working https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/google/gmail_domain.asp gives me an error, and I am trying to go thru my GoDaddy domain with the DNS MAnager which says there’s nothing listed, and everything Google tells me to do leads me to a dead end.

The only thing I can think that may have interfered with this is that my domain WAS going to expire, but I renewed it weeks before it was expiring. Please help!

When I take a look at the domain name daziadesigns.com, it doesn’t look like this domain name is using our Nameservers. The domain name is currently using these Nameservers:

NS.AXELVIII.COM
NS1.AXELVIII.COM

As the domain name is not using our nameservers, we do not control the DNS for the domain and you would not be able to manage the DNS settings through us. In order to resolve the issue you described, you will either need to update your MX records through your current hosting provider or you may update the domain name to use our Nameservers, which would restore DNS access through us. Should you choose to set the domain to use our nameservers, please keep in mind that changing the nameservers will affect any current DNS settings and the site that is currently displayed for your domain. If you would like to set the domain name back to our nameservers, this article explains how you can do this:

Ahh! Okay, so even though I have my domain name through GoDaddy, it’s due to the hosting? That makes perfect sense, I’ll have to get in touch with the guy who does my hosting ASAP. Thank you!
