Problem: When I go to/ send mail to my domain name, the page won’t load/ email won’t send.
Problem: I re-directed my domain name, and a day later I stopped getting email.
A possibility for this is that your domain name either has lapsed, or hasn’t yet been re-directed.
1) In order for your domain name to point to the correct website and/or email host, the nameservers need to be pointed to the right place. If you have not logged into your domain name registrar and done this, then the domain name will continue pointing to your old website/ email host.
2) If your domain name is set to expire, and you either haven’t renewed your subscription, or set the account to auto-renew, your domain name will expire after the last day of service, and your website and email traffic will cease until you renew the domain name.
3) If you change your domain settings, the changes will finalize within 2-3 days. Once this happens, the email will no longer be directed to your former “post office” but rather to your new one. If you haven’t changed the settings in your Outlook or other email program, the program will continue trying to get the email from the old “post office,” where you email no longer delivered to.
