Let's say we have a domain example.com

  1. Domain registrar : NAME.COM
  2. Web Host : IPAGE.COM
  3. Email Host : GMAIL (Google Apps)

My understanding is that:

  • I should add MX records to use Gmail (clear)
  • I must add A record to use Ipage hosting (clear)

What should be the Nameserver values? Should I keep the nameserver values of NAME.COM or change them to IPAGE nameserver values? And is it necessary to change nameservers?

UPDATE: I wanna make everything clear before I make actual changes.

    The NS records should be pointing at the same DNS servers that you've configured with your registrar, i.e. the DNS servers that host the data for your domain. I suspect you're confused by why you're having to define this in two separate locations, so I'm flagging this as a duplicate of a Q&A explaining this from a technical standpoint. – Andrew B Aug 23 '15 at 16:55

After not finding a satisfactory answer I gave try to the concepts already mentioned in the question:

  1. I set MX records to Gmail (Google Apps)
  2. I set A record to Ipage (Where website is hosted)

But to do that, I first had to set Nameservers to default nameservers of Name.com

Now my:

  1. DNS host is name.com
  2. Website host ipage.com
  3. Email server Gmail (Google apps)

And everything is working like a charm.
