I am in over my head with moving this one client’s hosting to my reseller package. Some hosting terms I barely understand and others I am clueless about. I’m hoping I can clearly explain my problem and someone can help me.

My client has a domain registration, hosting and e-mail set up with one company. The hosting is then redirected to another company with the A record listed with the different IP address – which I have. (My client sells products from the company the redirect goes to.)

My client wants to move the hosting and the e-mail addresses to me. I was told I would need to change(?) the MX record to do the e-mail addresses.

I have added the domain name to my reseller account, (but have not changed the name servers yet with the registration company). I can see the A record and MX record in the WHM panel, but I’m afraid to touch anything and mess up my client’s existing site.

This is all temporary as we are doing a redesign of her site and will be completely leaving the product company (they just have templates for people to use).

Is someone out there willing and able to walk me through this. I would greatly appreciate it! Hopefully I explained it well enough. Like I said I feel in over my head with this one!
