Ok, so i've setup MX records to use google to host my site's email but I'm having trouble with what to do to put into namecheap to get it back to my site. Recursion says I should put in the server's IP address, but that brings up the server's landing page and not my site. I thought i'd need to put in the ip of the DNS records but that doesn't seem to work either.
Here's what the box looks like and what options I have:
If it makes any difference i'm using 000webhost.

I don't know wether Namecheap will actually let you do it, thats the thing, I think you may have to use your host to setup the CNAMEs.

I'm using 000webhost which is limited. That means I need to setup all the MX records for google apps through namecheap. That part is all working fine, I just need to get it to direct back to my account at 000webhost. The forums on 000webhost say add another CNAME but namecheap say use A address because CNAME interferes with the other CNAMEs but my webhost doesn't support A address. Originally Posted by MattFr

Use a CNAME then. Originally Posted by Stutoman
