I am trying to use WIX as my domain holder but want X-5 to host
I am trying to configure my domain using the DNS records provided by x-5. The five Type A records are fine as well as the TXT record. But after multiple attempts with the MX value when I push the conformation button the red circle with red exclamation point comes up by the MX value.
I don't even use this site for email,
Please help,

Hello,
could you provide additional information?
What is the domain, and could you provide a screenshot of how the MX record was set on the registrar's panel?
I remain available.
Autore
the domain is district12bridge.org
the MX record was set with: 10mail.district12bridge.org
I contacted WIX help site and I tried it without the 10 and it still didn't work
Thank-you

I don't have anything in the DNS under CNAME(alieses) does that matter?

Hello Michael,
10 should be the priority value for the MX record, could you check if there's a field where this can be placed?
Autore
WIX autofilled the 10 priority value in a different field. That 10 field is not editable

Do I keep the "10" in the Points to field?
Hello Michael,
what do you mean by "Do I keep the "10" in the Points to field?"
Could you provide a screenshot of how the records are displayed on your panel, and have you tried checking with the registrar for guidance about how to correctly add it?
I remain available.

I tried for several hours with the registar with no sucess.
On a related note: If I buy a new domain from X-5 - district12bridge.info, how long does it take to get that domain running? and if when people click on the old domain does it some redirect to the new domain?
Hello Michael,
usually it takes at most a few days, 2 or 3, before the new domain is operational.
The redirect would need to be applied on your previous domain/hosting space in order to send visitors to the new website.
