4. Enter your domain name (without the www) and hit "Check Domain"

6. Make a note of the mx servers, probably:

1. Tell it to use 1&1 mail servers & hit next.
2. Hit "Order"
3. Now go back to your domain list. Find your domain (might have to make the list longer).
4. Select the domain you just added, and click on the "DNS" button at the top of the list.
5. Hit "Edit" next to the "Name Server Settings".
6. Change the MX-Record back to "1&1 mail server"

How to move a domain between one 1&1 account and another

1. go to http://cancel.1and1.com
2. login with your old accounts details (note, if you get it wrong first time, it "remembers" this. you have to shut down all your browsers, and start again. Nice one 1&1). Oh, and it asks for "Customer ID". It means your account number.
3. Follow the options to cancel a single domain.
4. If you say cancel immediately, it takes about 8 hours.
5. Now you can go into your other admin.1and1.co.uk control panel, and create the domain

1. The default is german (LANG=de_DE.UTF-8)
2. To change it, edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n, and change LANG to en_UK.UTF-8

Use 1&1 root server account for email without letting them host the DNS

1. Add the domain to 1&1 control panel.
2. Tell it to use 1&1 mail servers (you might have to do this twice)
3. update your current DNS hosting to have:

• mx01.1and1.co.uk. priority 20
• mx00.1and1.co.uk. priority 10
