Separate domain, email and web hosting responsibilities

Direct answer

Treat registrar access, DNS authority, hosted mail and the PrivateHostLab checkout email as different responsibilities.

Map the roles that must cooperate when a website, DNS and email are owned separately.

Illustrative example

Illustrative example: the client controls the registrar, an agency changes web records during an approved window, and a separate mail provider owns MX records. The checkout contact email is only a local payment-contact field, not a hosted mailbox.

Work through the decision

1. List the registrar account owner, DNS operator and mail-service administrator.
2. Capture current DNS records before a change and identify the approval contact.
3. Mark which records are web-related and which affect mail delivery.
4. Use a new browser or external test to verify the website and mail paths after the change.

What this does not establish

PrivateHostLab does not provide outbound SMTP or hosted mailbox service through this VPS catalog.
