Not sure if this is the right SE to ask the question, if not please kindly direct me to the right SE.
Brief background: I am learning VPC and started with AWS lightsail(wordpress). I just realised it doesn't come with email service and have to be set up on our own.
What I want to do: I'd prefer to use a non Amazon's email service provider (maybe proton or g-suite) for daily email communications.
I'd prefer to have www.example.com to be redirected to example.com.
My questions:
- What is the recommended way to set up the email MX record?
- Does it make any difference in configuring DNS with domain registrar or hosting service provider?
- I remember Google Analytics has the option to direct www.example.com to example.com and vice versa. Is it similar to DNS directing or that is mainly for site traffic direction?
- Is it more recommended to use Amazon workmail since I am using the lightsail?
Extra info: Currently, the domain is registered with Namecheap and I have the NS pointed to AWS. I'm open to any kind of configuration suggestions because it is mainly for learning purpose and can be changed/deleted anytime.
