NOTE: this will only work if you use 000webhost name server not when you use A-record to point to your site on 000webhost.

While 000webhost does not provide smtp but they give you something better they let you define your own mx server. They even give you a quick link to Google Apps.

For Google:
I setup Google Apps for my domain host here at 000Webhost and define my mx record to point to "ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM." without quote around.

After you verify the ownership of you domain you now have a full application suite including full email with smtp, calendar, chat, etc.

I even send a test email to my domain name on Google Apps and it works.

For https://domains.live.com
Assuming that you already setup an account with Live then you just put something like this: "xxxxxxxxx.pamx1.hotmail.com." which you get from your Live account "domain settings" and enter in your 000webhost MX record.

I hope you find this useful!

Ok this may sound silly but please do not bash me.
I currently have one of my domains set to point to another host and there I am using Google Apps email for the domain. On that host I was using phpmailer to create a secure connection to a gmail account for use in a contact form yet this is not allowed on 000webhost (no openssl) and instead the mail function is enabled. If I set the nameservers to yours and change the MX records on here to googles and use the mail function will it try to connect to google apps or will it use the 000webhost server mail functionality? i.e. will it cause a problem to send a mail from a connect form to a email on the same domain?
Thanks

Hi Chanh,

May be you can help me

CNAME Record for 000webhost.com

thank you!!

[smartit]

first of all, i need to have a word to 000webhost, i post a question to 000webhost and no reply at all, over a week.

regarding having webhost @ 000webhost and using mail on ghs.xxxx

after a week+ give and try and fail, i'm kinda figure out the solution :-
1. DO NOT change your nameserver from your original registrar to 000webhost nameserver.
2. setup your CNAME and MX record correctly on your original registrar, follow by the guide of Google apps.
3. ADD 'A Record' and point to 000webhost ip address under your original registrar's DNS record.

done.

hope this can help.
