hi,
i've tested my domain via dnscog.com. the service told me that my dns-server only provides one mx-server for maildelivery.

so my question is:
can i add another mx-record than starka.x10hosting.com?

here's a snippet from the log:

Check the number of MX hosts.
Your nameservers report only one unique MX record. We recommend having more than one in order to ensure reliable mail delivery.

Recommendation
You should consider including a secondary mail server to handle your mail if the primary server fails.

greetings, peter

Hello, you can add mx-records via the advanced dns zone editor in cPanel.
